Lâm Sông Đồng : TO THE WEST WITH MY LOVE
TO THE WEST WITH MY LOVE
Springtime in Texas
Bring back memory… as always
Along curvy country roads
Lying at the edge of freeways
Wild flowers and bluebonnets
Busily bathing sun rays
The naked beauties
Waving with cool wind
For that, butterflies and bees
Fluttering and dancing
Memory…..memory…
Once, we were young and pretty
Cruising up and down the roads around the counties
Somewhere on top of the bayou we parked
Drinking beers and singing in the back of my old truck Chevy
Once, she lay on bluebonnets hillside
The sky was so blue that I saw in her eyes
The warm sun light shined her blonde hair like an angle
I were trembling, no touch, afraid of breaking Goddess ‘idol
Such beautiful moments together as we grow
My sweetheart graduated the Heights, decided to go
She moved to the West, dreaming a movie star
Still a country boy I am, and time has gone that far
……………………………………
Springtime in Texas, again and again, happy life coming
Wild flowers, bluebonnets, the cool wind….
County roads had not changed much since those days
Still bees dancing and butterflies fluttering in the sun rays
For the good of the yesteryears that love
Never fade in me and memory keeps grow
To the West where she belongs to that day
I am sending a yellow rose and pray
