First Of May Lyrics - Never Die Young - James Taylor

And the light between us 

Which we could not quite extinguish 

Which we see at dawn 

Burns on 

First day of may 

Things are beginning 

Our side is winning 

Hip hip hooray 

Made in the shade 

Deep in the shadow 

Down by the meadow 

Lie in my arms 

And the moon will rise 

Before our very eyes 

We will rise too 

I'll be with you 

It's a rite of spring 

A horizontal thing 

The sweetest sort of dance 

Hidden in among the plants 

Ha ha ha ha 

People are laughing 

Children are singing 

Come join the dance 

And the walls around us 

Which we kept at such a cost 

When we turned around 

Came tumbling down 

Ha ha ha ha 

She can't stop laughing 

He can't stop singing 

First day of may
