"I get this feeling I may know you",
from another time and place.
It's as though I know your inner soul,
although I can't recall your face.
Your every move is so familiar.
Your scent invokes sweet memories.
"Come and let me look into your eyes",
my heart pleads out insistently.
"This bed of roses that I lay on",
I want to share once more with you.
The fates have brought us here once more,
across time we are renewed.
The moment that you spoke my name,
I felt a door open up inside.
"I've got two arms that long to hold you".
Love has always been our guide.

I'd like to tell a story,
About country singers of my day.
They had lots to sing about,
They had a lot to say.
Webb Pierce was from Nashville,
He sang right from the heart,
Hank Snow from Nova Scotia,
Was moving from the start.
Lefty was a great one,
William's made it big.
George Jones we often heard,
Didn’t make it to a gig.
Horton left us early,
Patsy Cline, she did so too.
Chet Atkins played a mean guitar,
Kitty Wells, stuck like glue.
Only just a few I've named,
Their fame will never die,
Statler brothers, Oak Ridge boys,
I love you, it's no lie.
