Henry's Songbook

Hey woman, my woman, open your eyes and smile
Hey lovely, my lovely, stay in the warm awhile
Savour the present we've got to open wrapped in a sleepy way
We've got a gift to share together, it's the gift of a brand new day
Gift of a brand new day

Hey woman, my woman, we can walk in the rain
Hey lovely, my lovely, search for the sun again
You can make bread, I can make wine, we'll ask our friends to stay
We've got a gift to share together, it's the gift of a brand new day
Gift of a brand new day

Making music, making love and making harmony
Time goes down, time flows down
The long, long road you share with me

Hey woman, my woman, we can take the baby out
Hey lovely, my lovely, show him what it's all about
Teach him to love the swan and squirrel, the magpie and the jay
We've got a gift to share together, it's the gift of a brand new day
Gift of a brand new day

Making music, making love and making harmony
Time goes down, time flows down
The long, long road you share with me

Repeat 1

[1972:] To welcome home my wife and baby son, both doing fine. (Notes Harvey Andrews, 'Writer of Songs')
