I see my darlin' in each spray of summer sunlight
I see my darlin' in the leaves that fall
I see her walkin' in the rainy April sadness
And hear her name in every bluebird call

I've told the possum in the gum tree, the raccoon on the ground
Told everyone but my darlin' of the happiness I've found
My heart would cry more than the weeping willow tree
If my darlin' and her heart were not for me

(Instrumental Break)

I've told the possum in the gum tree, the raccoon on the ground
Told everyone but my darlin' of the happiness I've found
My heart would cry more than the weeping willow tree
If my darlin' and her heart were not for me
