Lyrics

When

She will go out in the yard Holdin' her small daughter in her arms Above the line of the tress Above the end of the street She will see it risin' She will see it risin' Gold ball, large as a giant Planet startin' to lift up over ours She will go out in the yard Holdin' her daughter Lookin' at it rise Glow, blossom and rise
