Well, honeysuckle growing by the side of the road,
Makes me think of you, my sweet darlin'.
Sweet livin' smell makes the weight of my load,
Just a little easier to bear,
And I do believe I love the smell of roses that complements your hair.

Well I roam around to the honky tonks,
Bringin' everyone a little music,
Hopin' everybody will like my songs,
And do their best to lend me an ear,
But I do believe that nobody lends me an ear like you, my dear.

Oh, I do believe in the sun and the moon and the stars.
Oh, I do believe in you am and who I are.
Oh, I do believe in you.

Well the world is mine to give or take,
And with you there to help me choose what's mine,
Every dream that I?m gonna make,
Will be a little better with you near,
And I do believe I'll smile a little longer, knowin' that you're near,
And I do believe I'll laugh a little louder, knowin' that you're near,
And I do believe my world is getting brighter now that you are here.
