Jeannie Jones - Where The Mountains Breathe

I rise before the morning light as the mountains start to glow. I race outside to meet the day where the cool winds softly blow. I breathe the air so crisp and fresh it fills my soul. Feels like where I'm meant to be. Evergreens and mighty oaks are swaying in the morning wind and golden leaves beneath my feet whisper stories once again. Oh the North Carolina breeze blowing wild and blowing free. It carries all my troubles away and frees the best of me. I take a deep breath of mountain air and suddenly I can't believe I can let it go in the North Carolina breeze. Down a winding trail through the woods a whirlwind dances up ahead. A thousand leaves spinning round like little dreams the wind has led. And then the trees begin to open and I see the valley wide rolling hills of endless green stretching out on every side. The mountaintops etch the sky like a painting brushed in blue and gold. And for a moment time stands still there's nothing left I need to hold. Oh the North Carolina breeze blowing wild and blowing free. It carries all my troubles away and leaves the best of me. I take a deep breath of mountain air and close my eyes I'm free. There is nothing I can't leave behind in the North Carolina breeze. Up upon the hills deer and fawns play gently grazing in the morning sun. Celebrating the day has just begun. Little yellow birds are singing tiny voices in the trees and every note becomes a part of the mountain's melody. I breathe in cool and clean the air that makes me dream. I breathe out and let it go. Every worry I have known. Oh the North Carolina breeze come and carry me away through the rolling hills of emerald green and the golden light of day. Let the leaves dance around my feet. Let the wild wind set me free. I'll keep this little piece of heaven living deep inside of me. I need to find myself. I know exactly where I'll be walking through those Carolina trails where the mountains breathe with me. Misty mountains calling through the morning trees. I leave my heart behind with the Carolina breeze.
