[Like the song? Buy the album! "Gather Me" by the spectacular Melanie Safka!] Why sleep when the day has been called out by the sun From the night ’cause the light’s gonna shine on everyone Why sleep when the sleep only closes up our eyes Why sleep when we can watch the sun a-rise We were meant to see the beginning of the day I believe it was planned to lift us this way Take you an apple and take you a song And watch a baby day be born Take you an apple and take you a song And watch a baby day be born Quite quite said I that’s all very well to say But I rose before the dawn to your singing yesterday I couldn’t see the rising ’cause the dark was in my sky I couldn’t see the sun ’cause the sun was in my eye Take you an apple and take you a song Watch a baby day be born Take you an apple and take you a song Watch a baby day be born                 Why sleep I heard and I followed it today To the top of the hill where the wind songs play And I sing it like I heard it Why I heard it who knows why? Why sleep when we can watch the sun a-rise We were meant to see the beginning of the day I believe it was planned to lift us this way Take you an apple and take you a song Watch a baby day be born Take you an apple and take you a song Watch a baby day be born Take you an apple and take you a song Watch a baby day be born Take you an apple and take you a song Watch a baby day be born Take you an apple and take you a song Take back an answer to something gone wrong Take back some music and take me along And watch a baby day be born Watch a baby day be born [Continues in a sensible fashion alternating the two patterns. At least that’s how I play it! -surround5000/ surroundsound5000]
