Sweet Harvest Gold

[Intro]
[Verse]
Scuffed my boots on the gravel lane
Twenty-eight years in the pouring rain
But the sun is out on the orchard hill
Where the air is warm and the world is still
Crunch of leaves underneath my feet
Smelling something wild and sweet
[Pre-Chorus]
It’s a pull in my chest
Like a heart finally at rest
Looking back at the rows of green
The prettiest sight I’ve ever seen
[Chorus]
Oh, it’s a sweet harvest gold
Stories that never get old
A little bit of sugar and a lot of grace
I can still see the smile on your face
Yeah, it’s all right here
Crystal clear
In the sweet harvest gold
[Post-Chorus]
Sweet harvest gold
Never getting old
Just a little bit of sugar
And a lot of grace
In this holy place
[Verse]
Found the basket by the old oak tree
Weathered wood and a memory
Tucked inside was a linen scrap
And a recipe card from a dusty lap
Crumpled edges and ink so blue
Telling me exactly what to do
Two cups of love and a dash of time
Making everything feel sublime
[Pre-Chorus]
I can smell the spice in the air
Like you’re standing right there
With flour on your apron strings
And the joy that the simple things bring
[Chorus]
Oh, it’s a sweet harvest gold
Stories that never get old
A little bit of sugar and a lot of grace
I can still see the smile on your face
Yeah, it’s all right here
Crystal clear
In the sweet harvest gold
[Bridge]
Peach-pink dusk starts to fade away
Fireflies come out to play
Little sparks in the tall dark grass
Watching all the shadows pass
I’m a kid again for a minute or two
Chasing light like I used to do
[Verse]
Sun-warmed skin on a Gala red
Remembering every word you said
It’s not just a pie or a summer day
It’s the kind of love that’ll always stay
I’m twenty-eight but I’m ten years old
Holding on to the harvest gold
[Chorus]
Oh, it’s a sweet harvest gold
Stories that never get old
A little bit of sugar and a lot of grace
I can still see the smile on your face
Yeah, it’s all right here
Crystal clear
In the sweet harvest gold
[Post-Chorus]
Sweet harvest gold
Never getting old
Just a little bit of sugar
And a lot of grace
In this holy place
[Outro]
