I'm making a beautiful wooden chair With carvings of pretty roses And a bird in the middle With wings so wide To hold me when the day closes A chair low enough so when by the river I can reach the water A chair that is strong so when time moves along My days and my years will not matter A chair is a chair til you give it a heart A heart is a heart til you break it apart And a part of this song was for you from the start So sing it along, don't you worry If you kiss the blisters on my little hands So tired from carving all lonely I'll pile up some wood and make a little bench To rest by my side for you only A chair wide enough so that when I live For myself and for my lover We can both sit on it and we can read Old stories to one another A chair wide enough so when by the river We can reach the water A chair that is strong so when time moves along Our days and our years will not matter A chair is a chair til you give it a heart A heart is a heart til you break it apart And a part of this song was for you from the start So sing it along, don't you worry If you kiss the blisters on my little hands So tired from carving all lonely I'll pick up some wood and make a little bench To rest by my side for you only If you kiss the blisters on my little hands So tired from carving all lonely I'll pick up some wood and make a little bench To rest by my side for you only
