[Verse 1] Ah, caught you smiling at me That's the way it should be Like a leaf is to a tree, so fine Ah, all the good times we had I sang love songs so glad Always smiling never sad, so fine [Chorus] As we walk down the country lanes I'll be singing a song, hear me calling your name Hear the wind within the trees Telling Mother Nature 'bout you and me [Verse 2] Well if the sun shines so bright Or on our way it's darkest night The road we choose is always right, so fine Ah can your love be so strong When so many loves go wrong Will our love go on and on and on and on and on? [Chorus] As we walk down the country lanes I'll be singing a song, hear me calling your name Hear the wind within the trees Telling Mother Nature 'bout you and me [Bridge] My, my La la la Come on now it ain't too far Tell your friends all around the world Ain't no companion like a blue eyed Merle Come on now well let me tell you What you're missing, missing, 'round them brick walls [Acoustic Solo] [Verse 3] So of one thing I am sure It's a friendship so pure Angels singing all around my door, so fine Yeah, ain't but one thing to do Spend my natural life with you You're the finest dog I knew, so fine [Outro] When you're old and your eyes are dim There ain't no old Shep gonna happen again We'll still go walking down country lanes I'll sing the same old song, hear me call your name
