And ladies and gentlemen Here's the one I need, the inspiration for it Miss June Carter What do you say! If I had you at my mercy There's no telling what I'd do But I'd sit and make you listen For an hour, maybe two And then you'd know I need you Every day that rolls around And your feet would walk on velvet With gold all over the ground You're trails would be downhill A soft breeze at your back A sky full of diamonds And your nights would not be black Yes, you would really love it And if you're ever down I'd give you rows of roses And gold all over the ground I'd pick you up and carry you 'cross every stream I see And I'd bundle you in kindness Until you cling to me We'd sit beneath strong branches My arms would twine around I'd turn your green to emerald And give you gold all over the ground I'd pick you up and carry you 'cross every stream I see And I'd bundle you in kindness Until you cling to me We'd sit beneath strong branches My arms would twine around I'd turn your green to emerald And your skies full diamonds And give you gold all over the ground She's not only a lady who I share my life with But she may have been the person Responsible for me still being alive She and God
