(Tommy Sands)
Chorus:
Let me take your hand and we'll walk along together
Over the river and under the trees
We'll talk about the times we were making plans together
Taking the short cut through the fields
Tell the taxi man there's no need to come further
I'm tired of the highways and the hard city streets
Tell the taxi man, Let us off at the corner
I want to feel the grass beneath my feet
I know every bush and every berry in the valley
I know every thrush and every blackbird's loving song
And there's that old oak tree where we carved our love forever
Coming from the dancing in the hall
And there's that same old moon, let it shine on forever
Lighting up the laughter and the loving in your eye
And do you mind the time when we sat down here together
And tried to say good-bye
