AIN’T IT SWEET
2006 Mary Bahan, Bill Ekhoff, Ande Rasmussen
Sun was shinning a soft pink light and rising up fast
Misty fog lying on the field but it didn’t last
Hadn’t seen much rain, it was almost harvest time
Mom was saying the farmer’s prayer while hanging bedding on the line
“There’s nothing better than sun bleached sheets”
Looking over her shoulder, she said to me
Ain’t it sweet
Like the sky opens up
And you can see Heaven above
Ain’t it sweet
When all you could ever want
Is right within your reach
Ain’t it sweet, yeah, ain’t it sweet
The old screen door game a slam, Daddy held tools in hand
Said if I could fix those water pipes, corn might stand a chance
When you need help in our town, you just give a shout
And by sundown Dad and Mr. Johnson had it figured out
Later Mom cut us all a slice of peach pie
While we sat on the porch swing and watched fire flies
Ain’t it sweet
Like the sky opens up
And you can see Heaven above
Ain’t it sweet
When all you could ever want
Is right within your reach
Ain’t it sweet, yeah, ain’t it sweet
Bridge
You can work the soil, plant and plan
But at the end of the day, it’s all in God’s hands
As Reverend Bill said these words, we bowed our heads
Then he rose his hands up and said
Ain’t it sweet
Like the sky opens up
And you can see Heaven above
Ain’t it sweet
When all you could ever want
Is right within your reach
Ain’t it sweet, yeah, ain’t it sweet

Another good one Ande. This lyric has some cool fresh lines which in my mind makes it stand out. Musically strong as well... so I must say yes, this song is sweet.

great heartland kind of song - strong vocals as well as music - great build into the chorus - good energy from the intro all the way through - liked the change on the chorus the last time | KennC

Ande,
Per usual you've written another great song. The thing I'm always impressed with is the high quality of all of your material. This is real cuttable.
I truly envy (in a good way) your excellent
lyrics (my weakness)
Good luck with this one.
