[Verse] Met her by the old mill stream Eyes like summer's brightest gleam She laughed and the world stood still My heart raced like a whippoorwill [Chorus] Heartstrings in the pines Tangled up with hers and mine Every note a tune so fine Heartstrings in the pines [Verse 2] Danced beneath the moon's soft glow Barefoot where the wildflowers grow Her hand in mine A perfect fit Time slowed down I can’t forget [Prechorus] The wind hums her name It sings Through the forest It softly rings [Chorus] Heartstrings in the pines Tangled up with hers and mine Every note a tune so fine Heartstrings in the pines [Bridge] The fiddle cried The banjo played The night was ours It couldn’t fade A love so sweet So wild So free Like a songbird in a cedar tree
