I watched the sun fade out of view then dear, I thought of you.
Down where the river bends.
Twilight shadows gathered o?er the lea and then I felt you were so very near to me. so dear to me.
The stars came out to light the sky and only found that I, stood trying to pretend.
This dream would never end Down where the river bends.
SHADOW TIME AT EVENTIDE
REFRAIN-
Shadow time at eventide, memories of you Moon above in a starlet sky, roses wet with dew,
Fragrance of a summer?s night, I alone reminiscing.
In my arms I hold you tight, your sweet lips I?m kissing. Shadow time at eventide, dreaming dreams of you.
Hoping as the night goes by,
That my dream comes true, that my dream comes true.
DUST OFF MY SADDLE
Dust off my saddle, I hate to say good by But I?m headed for the Ranch house in the sky,
I?ll round up all the doggies as I ride through the blue Headed for the Ranch house in the sky.
I?ll stop at the old corral again
And listen to the cowboy?s sweet refrain.
I?m sorry I can?t stay, but pals, I?m on my way,
