Come
sit with me
Beneath
the weeping willow tree
We’ll
talk away the hours
In
summer’s peaceful tranquility
We’ll
watch the beautiful sunset
Sinking
low over the horizon
Feel
the breeze blowing gently
As
the whispering branches liven
A
bright full moon is shining
Casting
shadows, oh so bright
What
more could we ask for
On
this perfect summer night
Come
sit with me
On
the treasured old porch swing
We’ll
swing away the hours
Listening
to the crickets sing
The
fire flies are dazzling
A
perfect summer time show
Smell
the honeysuckle blooming
With
sweet fragrance to grow
We
can listen to the whipper wills
As
they make that unique sound
They
never fail to please
My
home is their stomping ground
Come
sit with me
At
the break of a new dawn
Say
hi to the morning glories
Hear
the birds sing each new song
The
roses are cascading
Around
every curve and bend
Pretty flowers are covered with dew
The
mornings so happily send
Apple
trees are blooming in the lane
Oh
how sweet they can be
Decked
out in pink blossoms
Waiting
for you and me
All
the cows are in the pasture
Nibbling
on the fresh green grass
Happy
as can be in the sunshine
Basking
in the warmth, in high class
Come
sit with me
On
the bank of the little creek
We’ll
sip on a tall glass of lemonade
Then
jump in with both feet
We’ll
enjoy every moment of each day
The
nights are wonderful too
Here
in my simple, country home
I
promise it will all come true
There
is splendor all around me
The
sky is big overhead
I
live in a heavenly paradise
Oh
what a beautiful spread
The
taste of heaven is so sweet
The
air is cleaner here
If
you reach up your hand
On
tip toe, heaven is near
Come
sit with me
In
my paradise home so green
This
summer time country living
Is
the best I’ve ever seen
