From the recording This Old Town
Words and Music by Judy Daigle
Lyrics
We settled ourselves in a small town
We had barely enough to get by
You worked and you tried hard to provide
We were rich in things money can’t buy
In the evenings when the chores were through
on the porch we’d catch up on the day
Then you would stand and reach out your hand
“Could I have this one? ” you’d say.
Chorus:
The moon and the stars would shine down their light
The nightingale sang from the trees
We would dance there in the night
holding each other in the breeze
Just you and I dancing in the breeze
Summers seemed to go on forever
heat and dust as far as you could see
The pond was our pool. The water was cool
with a rope to swing out from the tree
Some nights our friends would head to town
to forget about life for awhile
As the bar band played, they drank and swayed
but we had the best band for miles. And
(Chorus)
Bridge:
Though we’re getting on in years
there’s still one thing that we hold dear
and each night we still head outside
where…
(Chorus)
Holding each other in the breeze
Just you and I dancing in the breeze
