I was wrapped up in a teeny little shirt Lying in the grass by a pile of dirt When my mother said, "honey, you'll be just fine" I grew up tall and I grew up strong I'm gonna meet you soon, it won't be long Hey darlin', I know your heart's like mine I saw her sittin' there just the other day So I started to talk without much to say She said, "friend, it's just a waste of time" But the days go by and the days go past So what difference does it make if nothin's gonna last Hey darlin', I swear your heart's like mine Never had much to do Just filling in empty shoes And trying to find ways to pass the time But the way that the days go by And the way we're alone at night I'm no different than a leaf in the wind Blowin' up north and then back down south again I guess it's just a matter of making up my mind She's no different than a bird in the tree Singing all of her songs to me Hey darlin', I swear your heart's like mine
