Lyrics:

Oh, my darling
Don't you cry
Just hold my hand a while
Before I die
We've seen so many places
You and I
We've made the most
We've traveled far and wide

And even now, if I just close my eyes
I am reminded of a certain time
We lost the trail on old North Caroline
And spent the night
In the full moonlight
Fast asleep, holding each other tight

And in the early morning hours
Woke up in fields with golden flowers
Settled near a wild oak tree
As he was stretching out his arms to breathe the air

And even now, if I just close my eyes
I am reminded of a certain time
We lost the trail on old North Caroline
And spent the night
Fast asleep holding each other tight

And in the early morning hours
I've never seen so many flowers
Settle near a wise old tree
And as he stretches out his arms
It's me he carries on the summer breeze
