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 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 Well if the sunshine's 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 and on? 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 My, my la de 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 So of one thing I am sure, It's a friendship so pure, Angels singing all around My dog is so fine Yeah, ain't but one thing to do Spend my nat'ral life with you, You're the finest dog I knew, so fine 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 songs, hear me call your name
