We were dancing past midnight, a sweet sultry sway
The lights turned low, the band drifted away.
The dream of dreams as the night unfolds,
The tale of tales as we grew old.
Where oh where have I seen you before;
Have the waves of time washed away?
The velvet green pastures and long country roads
Have passed with the late fading day.
Remember the time that we stepped out of line
Our past was barely a dime.
A movie, a date, was always worth the wait
And your kisses were always on time.
Where oh where have I seen you before
Have the waves of time washed away?
The velvet green pastures and the long country roads
Have passed with the late fading day.
We held on to those years and savored the tears
The past is now a bucket of change.
Not sure where we're but it's sure nice knowin'
That gloryland is home on the range.
Where oh where have I seen you before
Have the waves of time washed away?
The velvet green pastures and long country roads
Have passed with the late fading day.
Often to dally, we will walk that lonesome valley
With the chorus angel band by our side.
Headed toward the light, what a wonderful sight,
We have danced through the night once again!
Where oh where have I seen you before
Have the waves of time washed away?
The velvet green pastures and long country roads
Have passed with the late fading day.
Velvet green pastures and long country roads
Have passed with the late fading day.

In the Tall Tree Top

In the tall tall tree top, lived a little blue bird,
That bird could sing with a country twang
Just like I'd never heard.
In the tall tall tree top, that bird he did soar,
He grazed the sky like the fourth of July
and sailed by heaven's door.
In the tall tall tree top one day that bird was gone,
So I climbed up high to wave goodbye
And thank him for his song.
The winter grew long and weary
And the snow fell to the ground,
The silence was like noise to me
I missed that tiny bird's sweet little sound.
So I climbed up in that tree top
And sang that little bird's song.
I sang so high,
I touched the sky,
And he came back to sing along.

Sad Song

It’s a sad song sittin’ on the side of the road,
It’s a sad song sittin’ on the road,
500 miles 'til I see her smile
And it’s a sad song sittin’ on the road.
It’s a sad song comin’ down the road, down the road
It’s a sad song comin’ down the road.
Baby don’t fuss! I’m on that bus
And it’s a sad song comin’ down the road.
Hey there baby, don’t you cry, my bus’ gonna get there soon,
Hey diddle diddle the cat don’t fiddle …’cause my baby jumped over the moon.
It’s a bad song comin’ through the devil’s gap
It’s a bad song comin’ through the gap,
Just hold on tight, and I’ll see ya tonight
And it’s a bad song comin’ through the gap.
By the time I see you you’ll be singing this song,
Singing this song for me,
We’ll carry our tune by the light of the moon
And we’ll let this sad song be!
Bus driver singin’ that sad song, too,
Road house fever takes a hold of you.
Doctor! Doctor! Give us the cure,
It’s a sad song ailing for sure.
Hey there baby, don’t you cry, my bus’ gonna get there soon,
Hey diddle diddle the cat don’t fiddle ’cause my baby jumped over the moon.
It’s a sad song sitting on the side of the road
A sad song waiting for you,
We’ve packed our bags and we ain’t lookin’ back
Cause my dish ran away with the spoon,
Hey there baby, don’t you cry, my bus is gonna get there soon,
Hey diddle diddle the cat don’t fiddle 'cause my dish ran away with the spoon.

Saving You Just For Me

The sunshine in your eyes just makes my world light up
The lightness in your heart can make me smile,
All I want to do is let you stay right here
And make you stand by me all the while.
You’re the one I’ve chosen,
You’re the one I need,
You’re the love I’ve waited for,
You’re the one that set me free.
The darkness in the world I have to pass right by,
The light in you makes it clear to see.
You’re the love I have been waiting for,
You’re the one I’m saving just for me.
You’re the one I’ve chosen,
You’re the one I need,
You’re the love I’ve waited for,
You’re the one that set me free.
In the dusk and in the dawn you’re right here with me
Our joy will last, our love we cannot hide.
All the hard times faded when you came around
Through the good and bad you’re standin’ by my side.
You’re the one I’ve chosen,
You’re the one I need,
You’re the love I’ve waited for,
You’re the one that set me free.
You’re the one I’ve chosen,
You’re the one I need,
You’re the love I’ve waited for,
You’re the one that set me free.
You’re the one I’ve chosen
You’re the one I need
You’re the love I’ve waited for
You’re the one that set me free.
