lyrics

Evening breeze is comin’ through
Evening breeze is comin’ through
I’ll put on my walkin’ shoes,
Can I be close to you?

Hold my hand and I’ll hold you,
Hold my hand and I’ll hold you,
I’ll put on my walkin’ shoes,
Can I be close to you?

I gotta go and I’m leavin’ soon,
Big old sun is leavin’ too,
I’ll put on my walkin’ shoes,
Can I be close to you?
I don’t care if the creek runs dry,
I don’t care if the oceans rise,
All I want is just you and I,
Can I be close to you?

Shed a tear and I’ll cry with you,
Cry with me and I’ll cry with you,
I’ll put on my walkin’ shoes,
Can I be close to you?

Crickets sing a lonely tune,
Crickets sing a lonely tune,
I’ll put on my walkin’ shoes,
Can I be close to you?

Oh count up the mem’ries that we knew,
Big old sun remembers too,
I’ll put on my walkin’ shoes,
Can I be close to you?
I don’t care if the stars don’t shine,
I don’t care if this world’s unkind,
I am yours and you are mine,
Can I be close to you?


Count the miles till I get to you,
Count the miles till I get to you,
I’ll wear out my walkin’ shoes,
Can I be close to you?

Rain falls down on the old tin roof,
Ain’t it a shame when the rain comes through?
My socks are wet in my walkin’ shoes,
Can I be close to you?

Watch the sky turn gray to blue,
Big old sun shinin’ back on through,
I’ll put on my walkin’ shoes,
Can I be close to you?
I don’t care where we may be,
I don’t care if we have any money,
All I want is just you and me,
Can I be close to you?

Look at our love and how it grew,
Look at our love and how it grew,
I’ll take off my walkin’ shoes,
Can I be close to you?

Back in the arms of my lover true,
Back in the arms of my lover true,
I’ll take off my walkin’ shoes,
Can I be close to you?

Nothin’ but a smile when I’m with you,
Big old sun is smilin’ too,
I’ll take off my walkin’ shoes,
Can I be close to you?
Nothin’ but a smile when I’m with you,
Big old sun is shinin’ through,
I’ll throw away my walkin’ shoes,
Can I be close to you?
