The Stubborn Lovers

Lyrics

Hush now, my darlin’, just close your eyes
The sun’s gone to bed and the moon’s on the rise
Outside your window the trees will stand guard
And keep all the secrets of your little heart

So we’ll say good night
And rock-a-bye till the daylight
Let sweet Mother Nature keep watch while you dream
Sleep well among the evergreens

The hills of Kentucky will never be far
From my fondest memory, but I found my heart
Out where the cold Cascade rivers run wild
For here’s where we made you, my Oregon child

So we’ll say good night
And rock-a-bye till the daylight
Your mama and papa have followed their dreams
To a life among the evergreens

So good night baby, there’s no one loved more
(Whatever you’ll be you are free to be)
Than you my baby, there’s so much in store
(And if you should ever have need of me)
In the new life waiting right outside your door
(I’ll be right outside your door)

So hush now, my darlin’, just close your eyes
We’ll be here tomorrow with smiles when you rise
Outside your window, the firs and the pines
Will keep silent vigil come rain or come shine

So we’ll say good night
And rock-a-bye till the daylight
We can’t wait to watch you chase after your dreams
Out here among the evergreens
