Jann Browne - Lillie Belle Lyrics

Those hands I'd know when you're too old
Those blue eyes see through me
And those words you say have been engraved
Like a heart carved into a tree
You laugh you sing your laughter rings
I slept by you one night
And I lay real close the thorn and the rose
Solomon's verse in light

Lillie Belle
You're a flower in the Spring
You're a June bug ready to fly
I know it's true
I'm a lot like you
You're an arrow shot through the sky

Life's been bitter and life's been sweet
And still you've carried on
A strong backbone a woman all alone
Who conquered the storms of life

Lillie Belle
You're a flower in the Spring
You're a June bug ready to fly
I know it's true
I'm a lot like you
You're an arrow shot through the sky

Double pat hand clap
Dance your Junie jig
Slide your taps against the floor
And circle back again
Rock your chair in the humid air
You got babies at your feet
Cut the rug ol' Junie bug
Then sing us all to sleep

Kentucky pearl a Southern girl
Your journey's led you home
And while you sleep
You're a dancin' in my dreams
I love you though you're gone

Lillie Belle
You're a flower in the Spring
You're a June bug ready to fly
I know it's true
I'm a lot like you
You're an arrow shot through the sky
Oh Lillie Belle
You're a flower in the Spring
You're a June bug ready to fly
I know it's true
I'm a lot like you
You're an arrow shot through the sky
