blue bonnet breeze

Dolly Parton

Blue bonnet breezes bring precious moments to mind
Blue bonnet breezes stirring up memories of romance and passion
Making a sweet place in time
A girl and a boy with high hopes and joy
Doing whatever they pleased
With a love in their eyes 'neath the wide, open sky
Makin' love in the blue bonnet breeze

The story is old, it's often been told
Of a rich city boy and poor country girl
Their families tried hard to keep them apart
But they became each other's world

He asked her to marry
Of course, she said yes
When he knelt there on his bended knee
They promised forever
No matter whatever
As they kissed in the blue bonnet breeze

Blue bonnet breezes bring precious moments to mind
Blue bonnet breezes stirring up memories of romance and passion
Making a sweet place in time
A girl and a boy with high hopes and joy
Doing whatever they pleased
With a love in their eyes 'neath the wide, open sky
Makin' love in the blue bonnet breeze

The father said no in voice loud and cold
"Oh, what's of your future and school? "
"This won't be allowed, " his mother said proud
"We won't let you be such a fool"

I'm your Juliet, I'm your Romeo
They said as they walked hand-in-hand
They knew in their hearts, they could not live apart
So they started making their plans

So she rented a bridal gown, he rented a tux
A bouquet of bluebonnets and, in his fancy new truck
They drove faster and faster, as fast as could go
'Til they crashed in a field of bluebonnets below
They placed a marker saying may you rest in peace
Now their souls soar together in the blue bonnet breeze

Hmm, hmm, mm, hmm
Bringin' sweet memories to mind
Hmm, hmm, mm, hmm
Markin' a sweet place in time
Ooh, oh, oh, oh, mm, m-mm-m
Doin' whatever they please
MM-mm-mm, mm-mm-m
Makin' love in the blue bonnet breeze
OOh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
