Oh, my darling Don't you cry Just hold my hand a while Before I die We've seen so many places You and I We've made the most We've traveled far and wide And even now, if I just close my eyes I am reminded of a certain time We lost the trail on old North Caroline And spent the night In the full moonlight Fast asleep, holding each other tight And in the early morning hours Woke up in fields with golden flowers Settled near a wild oak tree As he was stretching out his arms to breathe the air And even now, if I just close my eyes I am reminded of a certain time We lost the trail on old North Caroline And spent the night Fast asleep holding each other tight And in the early morning hours I've never seen so many flowers Settle near a wise old tree And as he stretches out his arms It's me he carries on the summer breeze
