That Old Brown Paisley Quilt

That Old Brown Paisley Quilt

I remember that night in our secret place.

We were star-gazing lovers, brings a smile to my face

You were only sixteen but I loved you so

I never ever wanted to let you go

As we lie down on that old brown paisley quilt.

You’re my life, my music, my song.

I’m your boy with a love so strong.

My tiny dancer twirling ‘neath the starry skies

True love’s circle as I gaze into your eyes.

And we lie down on that old brown paisley quilt.

Our kisses last forever on that soft summer night

Everything felt perfect, everything was right

I reached into my pocket and pulled out a ring

A little silver circle; such a simple thing.

And we lie down on that old brown paisley quilt.

Still can’t believe that you really were mine

Such a lucky guy words are still hard to find

How sorry I am I had to leave you alone.

Those September nights on the long distance phone

As you lie down on that old brown paisley quilt

My empty arms and tears on you face

So many things I wish I could erase.

Distance and time have taken their toll

but you’re still my heart and the spark of my soul

As you lie down on that old brown paisley quilt.

I remember that night in our secret place.

I promised to love you, the smile on your face.

The stars in the sky, the moon shining bright

Now I promise you I’ll make everything right

And we’ll lie down on that old brown paisley quilt.

With that little silver circle back in its place …….
