The Walker Brothers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On blueberry hill
On blueberry hill
When I found you
The moon stood still
On blueberry hill
And lingered until
My dreams came true
The wind in the willow place
Love's sweet melody
But all of those time we've made
Were never to be
Though we're apart,
You're part of me still
For you were my thrill
On blueberry hill
Though we're apart,
You're part of me still
For you were my thrill
On blueberry hill
