I caught you smiling at me,
That's the way it should be,
Like a leaf is to a tree, so fine.
Aah 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,
I'll 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 the way it's dark as night
The road we choose is always right, so fine.
How can any love be so strong
When so many loves go wrong
Will that love go on and on and on and on and on?
* Chorus
My, my la de la, come on now it ain't too far,
Tell your friends all around the world,
Ain't no companion like a blue-eyed merle.
Come on now well let me tell you,
What you're missing messing 'round them brick walls.
So of one thing I am sure,
It's a friendship so pure,
Angels singing all around my door, so fine.
Yeah, ain't but one thing to do
Spend my natural life with you,
You're the finest dog I knew, so fine.
When you're old and your eyes are dim,
There ain't no old Shep gonna happen again,
We'll still go walking down country lanes,
I'll sing the same old songs,
Hear me call your name.
