Bill Monroe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where we once stood beneath the tree
Where we once planned our life together
I can't forget come go with me
Come let us live some moments over
Then maybe you won't want to leave
I love you then and will forever
I can't forget the flowers blooming
The rose that I pick for you
Time changed you but I'm not changing
I loved you then and I still do
Come go with me to yonder valley
Where on the largest of the trees
I'll carve your name to prove I love you
I can't forget come go with me
I love you then and I still do
