Verse 1 Old Miss Carter swears at sundown If you stand by Willow Lane, You’ll see two shadows cross the courthouse When there’s not a soul in range. The preacher says it’s just the moonlight, The sheriff says it’s just the wind… But every heart that’s ever loved somebody Knows exactly who it’s is. Chorus If you’re out there after midnight, And the stars are hanging low, Don’t be afraid if you see two strangers Walking where the wildflowers grow. Love don’t always leave when life does… Some promises refuse to end. If you look real close, you’ll see us… Still walking hand in hand. Verse 2 There’s an old swing by the river That still moves without a breeze. Some folks blame the autumn weather… I blame old memories. Every now and then a lonely traveler Feels a smile they can’t explain. That’s just two old hearts reminding Heaven Love still answers to its name. Bridge Gravestones only hold the body… They’ve never learned to chain a soul. Some folks leave this world forever… Some just never let love go. Final Chorus If you’re out there after midnight, And you hear laughter in the air, Don’t turn around too quickly… You might catch us standing there. Time can steal our names and faces… Dust can take these bones we’re in… But every night beneath God’s moonlight… You’ll see we’re still walking hand in hand. Tag So if somebody says they saw us… Don’t tell them they’re wrong. Love just found another road… After we were gone.
