Blue Bonnet Breeze

(album: Run, Rose, Run - 2022)

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 enjoyed
Doing whatever they please
With love in their eyes 'neath the wide open sky
Making love in the blue bonnet breeze

The story is old, has often been told
Of a rich city boy and a poor country girl
Their families tried hard to keep them apart
But they became each other's world
He'd ask 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 enjoyed
Doing whatever they please
With love in their eyes 'neath the wide open sky
Making love in the blue bonnet breeze

The father said no in a 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 blue bonnets and in his fancy new truck
They drove faster and faster, as fast as could go
Till they crashed in a field of blue bonnets below
They placed a marker saying 'May You Rest In Peace'
Now their souls soar together in the blue bonnet breeze

Mm, mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
Bringing sweet memories to mind
Mm, mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
Marking a sweet place in time
Oh-oh, mm-mm-mm-mm
Doing whatever they please
Mm-mm, mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
Making love in the blue bonnet breeze

Mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Mm-mm, mm-mm
