v.1
Ah caught you smilin 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 smilin' never sad, so fine

Chorus:
As we walk down a country lane, I'll be singin' a song hear me callin' your name
Hear the wind whisper in the trees, tellin' Mother Nature 'bout you and me

v.2
Where is the sunshine so bright far away is darkest night
The road we choose is always right, so fine
Ah, can a love be so strong when so many loves go wrong
Will our love go on and on...

Rpt Ch.

Refrain:
My my, la-de-la, c'mon now it ain't too far
Tell your friends all around the world
There ain't no companion like a blue-eyed merle
C'mon now well let me tell you what you're missin' missin' round them brick walls

Instr. Brk.

v.3
So, of one thing I am sure, it's a friendship so pure
Angels singin' 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

When you're old and your eyes are dim
There ain't no ol' shep gonna happen again
We'll still go walkin' down country lanes
I'll sing the same ol' songs hear me call your name
