On the 8th Day  (KDM 141)  David Gilroy  (John Alexander, Andy Cooney, James Kelly) 2015

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER

Sides Face Grand Square

It took the Lord just 6 days to make the mountains

The oceans and the rivers, the valleys and the hills

Then life on earth began, but there was more to the plan

He took the 7th day just to rest, Circle Left

On the 8th day, God created music

Left Allemande and then you Promenade

Then he gave the wind a song, and the birds they sang along

And the world joined in perfect harmony

FIGURE

Heads Promenade you travel Halfway

Lead Right and Circle, Break out and make a Line

Up to the Middle and Back, Star Thru like that

DoSaDo, and do an 8 Chain 5

On the 8th day, God created music

He put the leaves in the breeze, Swing your corner, Promenade

Then he gave the wind a song, and the birds they sang along

And the world joined in perfect harmony

And the world joined in perfect harmony

ORIGINAL LYRICS

It took the Lord just 6 days to make the mountains

The oceans and the rivers, the valleys and the hills

Then life on earth began, but there was more to the plan

He took the 7th day just to rest, and then

 

On the 8th day, God created music,

He put the leaves in the breeze and made a ringing tambourine

Then he gave the wind a song, and the birds they sang along

And the world joined in perfect harmony

 

It didn’t take too long, to spread throughout the land

Samson & Delilah were the first to clap their hands

And would you believe, there was Adam & Eve

They were swaying beneath an apple tree

 

On the 8th day, God created music,

He put the leaves in the breeze and made a ringing tambourine

Then he gave the wind a song, and the birds they sang along

And the world joined in perfect harmony

 

Instrumental break

 

So when your spirits are down, just take a look around

Listen to the good Lords melody

 

On the 8th day, God created music

He put the leaves in the breeze and made a ringing tambourine

Then he gave the wind a song, and the birds they sang along

And the world joined in perfect harmony

 

On the 8th day, God created music

He put the leaves in the breeze and made a ringing tambourine

Then he gave the wind a song, and the birds they sang al..on..g

And the world joined in perfect harmony

 

Yes, the world.. joined.. in.. perfect.. harmony
