Somethin' Right

Folk Song in the Key of G Silent Amazin’ grace is shinin’ down on me. I must be doin’ somethin’. A warbler’s singin’ in a hawthorn tree. I must be doin’ somethin’ right. This bloomin’ garden, she’s lookin’ lovely, As the clouds above me go their merry way. There’s truth and beauty in a dandelion. I must be doin’ somethin’. It costs me nothin’ and it’s mine, all mine. I must be doin’ somethin’ right. Called Mother Nature a sexy dancer. Heard an echo answer, It’s my lucky day. My love and I are walkin’ arm in arm, I must be doin’ somethin’. Found a heads-up penny and a four-leaf charm. I must be doin’ somethin’ right. I view these omens with the suspicion That the joy I’m wishin’ for is here to stay. Amazin’ grace is shinin’ down on me. I must be doin’ somethin’. Hearin’ Mozart in a bluebird symphony. I must be doin’ somethin’ right.

I think this one is so funny and I could hear the melody come thru. "called mother nature a sexy dancer, heard an echo answer" really too funny..

I love this, Michael. I found myself actually singing lines in my head. That's what a good lyric should do...sing in your head. Nice work!
