How Beautiful The Sky

I see trees standing proud and serene
and it's not at all far-fetched
to believe they are trying to reach
to the miracle there with their branches outstretched

there's the sound of a heavenly call
floating down from way on high
and birds are winging and singing their songs in reply
well, for want of a word, how beautiful the sky

an array of splendiferous colours
a pageant to behold
a display blending grapefruity pink
lemon lime, purple grape, berry blue and peach gold

there are clouds of all sizes and shapes
drifting idly by and by
swinging in line there are rainclouds hung out there to dry
well, for want of a word how beautiful the sky

in what ways beauty clutches and clings
and to gaze on such wonderful things
my heart sings

there's a sound from that painting above
and its music makes me cry
with joy so intense that my heart simply must heave a sigh
well, for want of a word, how beautiful the sky

all around symphonies in my ear
magic sounds of sweet music
I hear loud and clear

in the night there's a silvery moon in a halo ring on high
one million diamonds all clustered around wink their eye
well, for want of a word, how beautiful the sky
