LOVER'S LANE
(A. P. Carter)

I first met you down in Lover's Lane.
You were just like an angel with angels' golden wings.
We walked along. We sang a song. The birds were singing too.
It seems like heaven's here on earth just to be again with you.
You're just a girl of my dreams, though it seems that my dreams never come true.

At night we'd sit out in the old porch swing.
The stars were shining brightly and softly you would sing.
You'd sing of happy days gone by. It makes me happy, too.
It'd be like heaven here on earth if I could be with you.
You're just a girl of my dreams, though it seems that my dreams never come true.

I first met you down in Lover's Lane.
You were just like an angel, my little brown-eyed Jane.
We walked along. We hummed a song. The birds were singing too.
It seems like heaven's here on earth just to be again with you.
You're just a girl of my dreams, though it seems that my dreams never come true.
