Give me birds at the dawning
Birds at the dawning
Birds at the dawning
To sing my soul awake
(up 3, in 3:4) G CGG / / C G / Em D C -
Give me roses at sunrise...
Give me breezes at midday...
Give me rainbows at teatime...
Give me flames in the sunset...
Give me candles at twilight...
Give me love in the evening...
Give me moon in the nighttime...
