(Bb)Lis ten to what’s in the heart of a child: a (F)song so big in one so small. (Ab6)Soon you will hear where beau ty lies. You’ll (Cm)hear and you’ll re call... The (Bb)sad ness, the doubt, all the loss, the grief, will be (F)long to some play from the past, as the (Ab6)child leads the way to a dream, a be lief, a (Cm)time of hope through the land... A sum mer’s day, a moth er sings a (Dm)song of pur ple sum mer through the heart of ev ’ry thing. And Heav en waits, so close it seems, to (Dm)show her child the won ders of a world be yond her dreams. The (Cm)earth will wave with (G)corn; the (Cm)days so wide, so (G)warm. And (Cm)mares (Dm)will (Cm)neigh with (G)stal lions (F)that they mate, foals they’ve borne. And (Bbsus)all shall know the won der of pur ple sum (G)mer. And so I wait. The swal low brings a (Dm)song of what’s to fol low, the glo ry of the spring… The fenc es sway, the porch es swing. The (Dm)clouds be gin to thun der, crick ets wan der, mur mur ing. The (Cm)earth will wave with (G)corn. The (Cm)days so wide, so (G)warm. And (Cm)mares (Dm)will (Cm)neigh (F)with (G)stal lions (F)that they mate, foals they’ve borne. And (Bbsus)all shall know the won der. I will sing the song of pur ple sum (Gsus2)mer. (Bbsus)All shall know the won der. I will sing the song of pur ple sum (Gsus2)mer.
