tears of joy might stain my face,
And the summer sun might burn me till Im blind,
But not to where I cannot see you walking on the back roads
by the river flowing gentle on my mind.
I was maybe 12 years old when this song came out, and those lines stopped me cold. I still get chills..
Thank you for sharing this.
