I caught you smiling at me - that's the way it should be
Like a leaf is to a tree
So fine

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
You hear me calling your name
Hear the wind within the trees telling Mother Nature 'bout you and me

Well, if the sun shines so bright, or our way is darkest night
The road we choose is always right
So fine

Can any 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
You 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 messing 'round them brick walls

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 gal 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 song
Hear me call your name

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.

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...

[Chorus]

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 door, so fine.

You're the finest dog I knew, so fine.
