We walked as one back then Untouched by why or when Now once again I remember you. We danced, we clicked our heels, We dreamed in feathered fields And told the stories that lovers tell. You sang the songs I knew And made them all seem true, With the voice that I loved so well. CHORUS Did I ever tell you your name was music to me? Did I ever show you from the start? Did I ever know you would fly, oh, fly away? Did I ever offer you my heart? Ah, but we were younger then And touched by restless winds Soon vivid colors of love turned blue. Now I wonder how you've grown And run the roads you've known And once again I remember you. CHORUS So time has come and gone, You sing another song, Yet I still linger beneath your spell. And how I long to hear Those words you whispered near, With the voice that I loved so well. CHORUS © 1991, Mineral River Music source: Music To Me, Bill Staines songbook |

I used to sing Roseville Fair many years ago but learned via Nanci Griffiths. It was some time before I got to hear the man himseldf and some of his other songs. I don't sing any more but have a friend who I search out songs just right for him and this is one of them. Thanks again. |

A song just about anybody would accept as the best one he or she could hope to write. And how about 'My Sweet Wyoming Home'? Tremendous harmonies in the chorus. Lots of others. He's a prolific writer. Enjoy. |
