I've been feeling
A summer rain
I've been dreaming
About your face
I've been feeling
A summer rain
I've been dreaming

About your face
And I've been trying
To call your name
But all I could hear
Was the summer rain

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
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
