Country Love

(Intro – Instrumental)

She was only sixteen, oh the girl of my dreams
But my heart was too shy to show
What was deep in my heart, and how we should start
A courtin’ with me as her beau.

I knew from the start, she would steal my heart
But the kinfolk they just couldn’t see
T’was not just a stage, that was due to our age
She would walk down that aisle with me.

So I got up the nerve, to smile at that bird.
And ya know, she smiled my way
My heart took a leap, it fell at her feet
The world it turned happy and gay.

I knew from the start, she would steal my heart
But the kinfolk they just couldn’t see
T’was not just a stage, that was due to our age
She would walk down that aisle with me.

(Instrumental)

The folks oh they say, it was cloudy that day
When we ran off to travel afar
And our story’s been told, o’er ten thousand fold
How young lovers they followed their star.

I knew from the start, she would steal my heart
But the kinfolk they just couldn’t see
T’was not just a stage, that was due to our age
She would walk down that aisle with me.
