Ah, caught you smiling at me
Thats 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

As we walk down the country lane
Ill be singing a song
Hear me calling your name
Hear the wind within the trees
Telling Mother Nature about you and me

Well if the sunshines so bright
Or on our way its 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 and on and on and on and on

As we walk down the country lane
Ill be singing a song
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 aint too far
Tell your friends all around the world
Aint no companion like a blue eyed merle
Come on now well let me tell ya
What youre missing, missing, round them brick walls

So of one thing I am sure
Its a friendship so pure
Angels singing all around, my dog is so fine

Yeah, aint but one thing to do
Spend my natural life with you
Youre the finest dog I knew, so fine

When youre old and your eyes are dim
There aint no old Shep gonna happen again
Well still go walking down country lanes
Ill sing the same old songs
Hear me call your name
