Love to see to see them tall trees swayin'
Tall trees swayin' in the breeze
When I see them tall trees swayin'
Sway like my babe walkin' back to me
Sway like my babe walkin' back to me
Walkin' back to me.
I love to hear that night bird cryin'
Night bird cryin' low and sweet
When I hear that night bird cryin
Cryin' like my babe callin' me
Callin' me.
Love to see the full moon risin'
Full moon risin' gold and bright
When I see the full moon risin'
Maybe it's guidin' her home tonight
Maybe it's guidin' her home tonight
Home tonight.
I love to feel the warm sun shinin'
Warm sun shinin' on my skin
When I feel that warm sun shinin'
Feels like my baby holding me again
Feels like my baby holding me again
Holding me again.
I love to see them tall trees swayin'
Tall trees swayin' in the breeze
When I see them tall trees swayin'
Swayin' like my babe walkin' to me
Swayin' like my babe walkin' back to me
Back to me
Swayin like my babe walkin' back to me
Back to me.
