Way down yonder on the east side
Where the lonely meadows still speak of her
And the old sun still shines at night
Oh among the stars way up above

She’s so far away for me to see
Like the blue star way up in the sky
And when the nights are too cold for me
I sing the same old song with a sigh

Staring at the clouds when the day’s still young
My heart so longs to just see her again
Listening to the songs that she once sung
Times when I kissed her in the lemon scented rain

Lord I remember when she said to me
“Not a day goes by when I don’t think of you
And if the world ever turns too cold for us to be
I’ll stay by your side like the sun so warm and true”

But she went away like seasons in the sky
To a world so far for me to see
Now I sing the same old song with a sigh
And there’s just no place I’d rather be.
