Lyrics
Hair's a red and gold bouquet
Eyes that sparkle as they say
I love you too much to say
So why don't you stay
Over the hills and the plains
Through the night and the driving rain
I would rather go insane
Or live my live in a constant pain
I would never be the same
If I could never see you smile again
I can still recall the very first day
Even though so many years have slipped away
There's been sorrow and some
Pretty rough days
But never once did we ever
Lose our way
And so it's gone, another year
And so it's gone now, but we're still here
We're still here
Over the hills and the plains
Through the night and the driving rain
I would rather go insane
Or live my live in a constant pain
I would never be the same
If I could never see you smile again
