Capo 3 Walk outside the house before the sun is up The ponies in town are sleeping but the Apples are not It's the beginning of another day Can't spend another minute on the hay Grab something to eat then feed the pigs in their pen The noise they make keeps me company when I watch the moon make way in the sky For the elder princess' celestial charge The freshness of the morning air remains with me As I walk back to the orchard where todays work awaits Among the apple trees Bucking the days away with a smile upon my face Keeping alive the family ways While big brother works the fields with the old plow Little sis and I help granny bake and I'm thinking about Racing through the whitetail woods last fall A blur of rainbow colors clouding it all Walk into town to meet my friends We're having a party at the corner again And I wouldn't miss it for the world, no It's always magical when I'm with the girls The beautiful and tranquil night Descends upon me as I head back home And I just can't hold back a smile Not when I feel so fine Bucking the days away with a smile upon my face Keeping alive the family ways
