Subject: Lyr Add: GIFT OF A BRAND NEW DAY (Harvey Andrews)
There are no lyrics on Harvey's website. I trust he won't mind us helping Robert out. This is what he sings on 'Brand New Day' (1980): GIFT OF A BRAND NEW DAY (Harvey Andrews)
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
For '25 Years on the Road' the last verse is changed to
Hey woman, my woman, now that the kids are grown Hey lovely, my lovely, there's time to be on our own These are the best days we've ever had, what a wonderful thing to say We've got a gift to share together, it's the gift of a brand new day
The only info I have is: [1972:] To welcome home my wife and baby son, both doing fine. (Notes Harvey Andrews, 'Writer of Songs') so it would definitely be interesting to hear Harvey himself on the song and the changes he's made.
