lyrics

We used to play on warm summer nights, after the sun went down
We had a stage in the back of the barn, if you were there you would’ve heard the sound
Of fiddles, guitars, and mandolins, the music carried through the trees
The only thing missing was a banjo’s ring, and a woman’s harmony

Now whenever I hear the sound of a banjo in a song tears fill my eyes
’Cause your voice rings as clear as it did back then, even that very first time

When you came in with a banjo by your side, it was the prettiest thing we had ever seen
And your voice melted every heart there that night, but somehow you chose me
And we lived a life together with its ups and downs, and music every summer night
No one else could play or sing quite like you, you always were a beautiful sight

Now whenever I hear the sound of a banjo in a song tears fill my eyes
’Cause your voice rings as clear as it did back then, even that very first time

I know this world is still a beautiful place, but it’s not the way it used to be
Because now my hands are old and broken down, and time with you is just a memory
I still take walks on warm summer nights, after the sun goes down
And tall grass grows where our barn once stood, but if I listen close I can hear the sound…..of a banjo in the night

Now whenever I hear the sound of a banjo in a song tears fill my eyes
’Cause your voice rings as clear as it did back then, even that very first time
