Píseň: The Wonder

Interpret:
Kris Kristofferson
Album:
Closer To The Bone
There's a song in my soul for the sun going down
 When it dies at the end of the day
 With the sadness descending as soft as the sound
 Of the life that was slipping away

 As dreams that won't ever come true
 Then the star-spangled glory of love fill the skies
 And my heart with the wonder of you


 Pretty berries I carry to you
 Pretty flowers still hold in your hand
 Pretty reasons for dreams coming true
 And for doing the best that you can


 I swear to be thankful the rest of my days
 And wear the whatever I do
 For the chance I was given to live and believe
 In the love and the wonder of you
