You look up at the sky and you feel the weight of passing time, You find your feet and take your first flight, The world around you floats by in steady time.
Don't go astray, and come home one day, But don't forget to hold on tight, When you're taking your first flight.

You lived just over in the house on the corner, And we'd listen for the birds, meet in the morning, Take my hand, now, and lead on.
You'd walk up the road with a stick in your hand, Nothing to fear, nothing planned, Take my hand, now, and lead on.
Oh they're gonna say we'll never make it, Don’t get me wrong, we're going to make it, We're going to be the leaders of the world, Lead on.
We together like mountains and rivers, Like a leaf and a tree, an arrow and a quiver, Take my hand, now, and lead on.
We go together like moonlight and silver, And if you were the cold, I’d be the shiver, Take my hand, now, and lead on.
Oh they're gonna say we'll never make it, Don’t get me wrong, we're going to make it, We're going to be the leaders of the world, Lead on.
Can't go back to the world behind us, I'm not ready for the ghosts that’ll find us, Take my hand, now, and lead on.
Living for today, not tomorrow, Paying forward the love that we borrow, Take my hand, now, and lead on.
Oh they're gonna say we'll never make it, Don’t get me wrong, we're going to make it, We're going to be the leaders of the world, Lead on.

In my lifetime, I've seen summers go by, Frozen winters, shells adrift on the tide.
Taking hold of yourself when no one else will, I am always the last one to leave here, And although we can’t sleep, although we can't dream, Oh we'll live forever, We will live forever.
I will drift by like a moth to the flame, Journey onwards, ‘till I see you again.

Verse 1

From this valley they say you are going

We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile

For they say you are taking the sunshine

That has brightened my pathway awhile

Verse 2

Come and sit by my side if you love me

Do not hasten to bid me adieu

Just remember the Red River Valley

And the cowboy who loves you so true

Verse 3

Won’t you think of the valley you’re leaving

O how lonesome, how sad it will be?

O think of the fond heart you’re breaking

Every grief you are causing to me.

Verse 4

Come and sit by my side if you love me

Do not hasten to bid me adieu

Just remember the Red River Valley

And the cowboy who loves you so true

And the cowboy who loves you so true

Verse 1

As the blackbird in the spring

'neath the willow tree

Sat and piped I heard him sing

Praising Aura Lee.

Chorus

Aura Lea! Aura Lea! Maid of golden hair

Sunshine came along with thee

And swall-ows in the air.

Verse 2

Take my heart and take my ring

I give my all to thee

Take me for eternity

Dearest Aura Lee!

Chorus

Aura Lea! Aura Lea! Maid of golden hair

Sunshine came along with thee

And swall-ows in the air.

Verse 3

In her blush the rose was born

'twas music when she spoke

In her eyes the light of morn

Sparkling seemed to break.

Chorus

Aura Lee! Aura Lee! Maid of golden hair

Sunshine came along with thee

And swall-ows in the air.

Verse 4

Aura Lee the bird may flee

The willow' golden hair

Then the wintry winds may be

Blowing ev'rywhere.

Chorus

Aura Lee! Aura Lee! Maid of golden hair

Sunshine came along with thee

And swall-ows in the air.

Verse 5

Yet if thy blue eyes I see

Gloom will soon depart

For to me sweet Aura Lee

Is sunshine to the heart.

Chorus

Aura Lee! Aura Lee! Maid of golden hair

Sunshine came along with thee

And swall-ows in the air.

Verse 1

Well I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee

I'm bound for Louisiana, my own true love for to see

It rained all night the day I left

The weather it was dry

Sun so hot I froze to death

Susanna, don't you cry

Chorus

Oh, Susanna

Don't you cry for me

‘Cause I come from Alabama with the banjo on my knee

Verse 2

I had a dream the other night

When everything was still

I dreamed I saw my girl Susanne

She was coming around the hill

The buckwheat cake was in her mouth

A tear was in her eye

I said I come from Dixie girl

Suzanna, don't you cry

Chorus

Oh, Susanna

Now, don't you cry for me

‘Cause I come from Alabama with the banjo on my knee

Yeah Oh, Susanna

Now, don't you cry for me

‘Cause I come from Alabama with this banjo on my knee
