Lyrics

ELIZABETH


ON THE ROAD BETWEEN HERE
AND THE MOUNTAINS AND HILLS
I SAW A YOUNG COUPLE
AS THE EVENING AIR CHILLS
I DREW CLOSER STILL
I COULD SEE IN HER HAND
A BOUQUET OF FLOWERS
AND A NEW WEDDING BAND.
I SAW HER WHITE DRESS
AND HE WITH GUITAR
THEY STOPPED ON THE TRAIL
AS I WATCHED FROM AFAR
THE SONG THAT HE PLAYED
IT WAS EASY TO SAY
THE SONG HE PLAYED
ON THEIR WEDDING DAY

THE SONG THAT HE PLAYED
ADRIFT ON THE BREEZE
SHE SMILED AND SWAYED
AS THE DAY TURNED TO EVE
HE PLAYED WITH FINESSE
IN A MASTERFUL WAY
TO THE WORDS I LISTENED
I RECALL IN THIS WAY

MY STEPS COULD BE HEARD
I WAS DONE WITH MY REST
MY APPROACH WAS UNNOTICED
AS HE SANG HIS REQUEST
FOR HER UNDYING LOVE
AND A LIFELONG AFFAIR
A HANDSOME YOUNG COUPLE
IN THE CRISP MOUNTAIN AIR

THE SONG SOON FADED
AND THE COUPLE FROM VIEW
BUT THE SONG I REMEMBER
I CAN STILL HEAR THE TUNE
ON THE ROAD BETWEEN HERE
AND THE MOUNTAINS AND HILLS
I SAW A YOUNG COUPLE
AS THE EVENING AIR CHILLS

BE HERE WITH ME ELIZABETH
I WILL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU
BE HERE WITH ME ELIZABETH
I WILL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU
