Lyrics

FROM THERE TO ETERNITY

(John Kilzer/Chuck Jones)

AT THE CHURCH ON THE RIVER BY THE BRIDGE
IN THE SHADOWS OF AN INDIAN MOUND
WITH A TRAIN ROLLING OVERHEAD
WE FOUND A PLACE TO LAY OUR BLANKET DOWN
IN THE GREEN GRASS ON THE RIVERBLUFF
WE WATCHED THE SUN SET ON ARKANSAS
PUSHED THE CORK DOWN INTO THE WINE
STOLE A KISS EVERYTIME A STAR WOULD FALL

TIME WAS SAND IN OUR FIST
BARGES ROLLED BY WITH THE DREAMS IN THE MIST
I HAVE NEVER FORGOTTEN
LOVE IN THE DUST AND THE CLOUDS IN THE COTTON
THE MOON OVER MEMPHIS SHONE DOWN ON THE WATER
ALL THE WAY TO NEW ORLEANS
CARRYING YOU AND ME
FROM THERE TO ETERNITY

THOSE DAYS DRIPPED LIKE HONEY THEN
YOUR LIPS WERE LEMONADE
LIKE THE ROSES ON THE DRESS YOU WORE
SOME THINGS WEREN’T MEANT TO FADE
BUT LIKE SNOW FALLING ON THE RIVER NOW
THOSE DAYS MELTED INTO YEARS
STILL, EVERYTIME I SEE A COTTON CANDY CLOUD
I TASTE THE HONEY BACK BEFORE IT TURNED TO TEARS

TIME WAS SAND IN OUR FIST
BARGES ROLLED BY JUST LIKE DREAMS IN THE MIST
I HAVE NEVER FORGOTTEN
LOVE IN THE DUST AND THE CLOUDS IN THE COTTON
THE MOON OVER MEMPHIS SHONE DOWN ON THE WATER
ALL THE WAY TO NEW ORLEANS
CARRYING YOU AND ME
FROM THERE TO ETERNITY
