[Verse 1]

Ah, caught you

 smiling at me

, that's the w

Ah, all the go

od times we ha

 songs so glad
              
Always smiling

 fine.

As we walk dow

n a country la

ne, I'll be si

nging a song,
            
You hear me ca

Hear the wind 

whisper in the

 trees telling

 Mother Nature

 'bout you and

 me.

Well, if the s

un shines so b

right, or our 

way is darkest

 night,
              
The road we ch

              
oose is always

           
 right, so fin

e.

Ah, can a love

 be so strong 

when so many l

oves go wrong?
              
Will our love 

              
go on and on, 

             
and on, and on

              
, and on, and

Tell your friends all around the world.
              
Ain't no compa

ue-eyed merle.

[Solo]

[Outro]

So, of one thi
