I've been waking up slowly With a coffee out on the porch Whistling softly So I don't lose the birds around my feet I've been waking up slowly Before I start the day Oh I need a moment Of sitting in the shade of the apple tree And I might miss the bus But I don't really care I'll take my time my chances And maybe I'll see you there Cuz I've been burning both ends And I know I need to slow it down So I've been waking up slowly And singing in the sun I laugh to myself cuz I know how far I've come How far I've come
