My Darling, Deer

[Verse] Little girl in summer's dress Found a friend A pure caress White-tailed deer with eyes so bright They chased the sun 'til fade of light [Verse 2] Rolling down the hills so steep Laughing Tumbling Hearts to keep In the meadow Where flowers bloom They danced 'neath the silver moon [Chorus] Oh The grass was green The world so kind In the quiet woods Where they did find A bond of whispers Old and new My little girl and her friend so true [Verse 3] Picking berries Sweet and red Giggling softly Nothing said In the silence A friendship grew Among the trees and morning dew [Verse 4] When the summer melted slow And the twilight cast its glow There they'd be Side by side No secrets for the moon to hide [Chorus] Oh The grass was green The world so kind In the quiet woods Where they did find A bond of whispers Old and new My little girl and her friend so true
