Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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 Mackrel sky?
The smell of grapes on the wind
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Have you ever had the pleasure of watchin'
A quiet winter's snow slowly gatherin'?
The simple moments addin' up
Have you ever satisfied a gut feelin' to follow
A dry dirt road that's beckonin' you
To the heart of a shimmerin' summer's day?
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
At night 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 pair of eyes then when seen through just one
[Verse 6]
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's pledged their love to you?
[Verse 7]
Well I have known all these things and the joys that they can bring
Now every morning there's a cup of coffee and I wear your ring
And I wear your ring
