text: 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 lanes
  Ill 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 sun shines 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?
  As we walk down the country lanes
  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 la 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 you
  What youre missing, messin round them brick walls
  So of one thing I am sure
  Its a friendship so pure
  Angels singing all around my door, 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 song, hear me call your name
