Susanna, she dropped by today. |
|
She said, “That's where I used to play |
|
Now it's gotten overgrown |
|
This house is one big memory, |
|
Oh Mama! Please come live with me |
|
You know I worry now that you're alone” |
|
|
|
Susanna's scared. I'm not afraid. |
|
This is the house that Charlie made |
|
Though he's gone, I know where I belong. |
|
I still see him on that swing |
|
And often I can hear him sing |
|
When chilly breezes start to blow |
|
“Darlin' won't you come along? |
|
|
chorus |
Melinda Rose, come dance with me. |
|
The moon is shining brilliantly |
|
And in this light your beauty glows |
|
I will love you tenderly |
|
And I promise that I'll be |
|
Forever yours, Melinda Rose” |

Three A.M in the snow |
|
Headed to the barn although |
|
We sold the stock a few years back |
|
I whistled for the dog then knew |
|
Just last month, I lost him too |
|
I guess that I was losing track |
|
|
|
But someone called to me that night |
|
And waiting in the silver light |
|
There was Charlie standing in the snow |
|
Snowflakes shining in his hair |
|
Like diamonds in the frosty air |
|
“Come on beautiful, let's go |
|
|
chorus |
|
|
|
bridge |
Susanna found me there next day |
|
And I was smiling they say |
|
Beside my footprints in the snow |
|
One set led to where I lay |
|
Two sets of footprints danced away |
|
Who it was, they'll never know |
|
|
chorus |
|
|
|
coda
|
Oh Charlie, I will love you tenderly |
|
And I promise that I'll be |
|
Forever, your Melinda Rose |
