Cowboy Junkies - Anniversary Song lyrics

Have you ever seen a sight as beautiful

as that of the rain-soaked purple

of the white birch in spring?

Have you ever felt more fresh or wonderful

than on a warm fall night

under a Mackerel sky,

the smell of grapes on the wind?

Well I have known all these things

and the joys that they can bring

And I'll share them all for a cup of coffee

and to wear your ring

Have you ever had the pleasure of watching

a quiet winter's snow slowly gathering

like simple moments adding up?

Have you ever satisfied a gut feeling

to follow a dry dirt road that's beckoning you

to the heart of a shimmering summer's day?

Well I have known all these things

and the joys that they can bring

And I'll share them all for a cup of coffee

and to wear your ring

And I don't know how I survived those days

before I held your hand

Well I never thought that I would be the one

to admit that the moon and the sun

shine so much more brighter when

seen through two pairs of eyes than

when seen through just one

Have you ever seen a sight as beautiful

as a face in a crowd of people

that lights up just for you?

Have you ever felt more fresh or wonderful

as when you wake

by the side of that boy or girl

who has pledged their love to you?

Well I have known all these things

and the joys that they can bring

And now every morning there's a cup of coffee

and I wear your ring
