The Song of Purple Summer piano leadsheet with chords

Listen to what's in the heart of a child:

a song so big in one so small.

Soon you will hear where beauty lies.

You'll hear and you'll recall...

The sadness, the doubt, all the loss,

the grief, will belong to some play from the past,

as the child leads the way to a dream,

a belief, a time of hope through the land...

A summer's day,

a mother sings

a song of purple summer through the heart of ev'rything.

And Heaven waits,

so close it seems, to show her child the wonders of a world beyond her dreams.

The earth will wave with corn;

the days so wide, so warm.

And mares will neigh with stallions that they mate,

foals they've borne.

And all shall know the wonder

of purple summer.

And so I wait.

The swallow brings a song of what's to follow,

the glory of the spring...

The fences sway,

the porches swing.

The clouds begin to thunder, crickets wander,

murmuring. The earth will wave with corn.

The days so wide, so warm.

And mares will neigh with stallions that they mate,

foals they've borne.

And all shall know the wonder.

I will sing the song of purple summer.

All shall know the wonder.

I will sing the song of purple summer.

All shall know the wonder of purple summer.
