Bayou

Take me to Conway Bayou
to share the beauty that you know...
in a land like this such beauty surrounds
I want to watch the trees and flowers grow...

I know much beauty abounds
it glistens in your eyes
in the gentle tone of your voice
as you speak of good time and the happiness you found...

Would you share this beauty with me
secret places that you go...
beauty through your eyes
is something I must know...

There is an unknown urgent need to go
to your beautiful bayou...
don't ask me why, I know not why
I must go see everything you do...

If this is where you want to be
let me help you find the way...
sail swiftly upon the sunset
see the sunshine clearly...
the next warm summer day.
