The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
There are stars in the southern sky Southward as you go. There is moonlight and moss in the trees Down the Seven Bridges Road. Now I have loved you like a baby Like some lonesome child, And I have loved you in a tame way, And I have loved you wild. Sometimes there's a part of me Has to turn from here and go Running like a child from these warm stars Down the Seven Bridges Road. There are stars in the southern sky. And if ever you decide you should go, There is a taste of time sweet and honey Down the Seven Bridges Road.
