Ah caught you smiling at me That's the way it should be Like a leaf is to a treeso fine. Ah all the good times we had I sang love songs so glad Always smilingnever sadso 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 sunshines so bright Or on our way it's darkest night The road we choose is always rightso 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? * chorus Mymy 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 missingmissing'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. Yeahain't but one thing to do Spend my nat'ral life with you You're the finest dog I knewso 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.
