Blue Bonnet Breeze

Blue bonnet breezes
Bring precious moments to mind
Blue bonnet breezes
Stirring up memories of romance and passion
Making a sweet place in time
A girl and a boy with high hopes and joy
Doing whatever they pleased
With the love in their eyes, 'neath the wide open sky
Making love in the blue bonnet breeze

The story is old, it's often been told
Of a rich city boy and a poor country girl
Their families tried hard to keep them apart
But they became each other's world

He asked her to marry, of course, she said yes
When he knelt there on his blended knee
They promised forever, no matter whatever
As they kissed in the blue bonnet breeze

Blue bonnet breezes
Bring precious moments to mind
Blue bonnet breezes
Stirring up memories of romance and passion
Making a sweet place in time
A girl and a boy with high hopes and joy
Doing whatever they pleased
With the love in their eyes 'neath the wide open sky
Making love in the blue bonnet breeze

The father said "No", in a voice loud and cold
"Oh, what of your future and school?"
"This won't be allowed", his mother said, proud
"We won't let you be such a fool"

"I'm your Juliet"
"I'm your Romeo"
They said as they walked hand-in-hand
They knew in their hearts they could not live apart
So they started making their plans

So she rented a bridal gown
He rented a tux
A bouquet of blue bonnets
And in his fancy new truck

They drove faster and faster
As fast as could go
'Til they crashed in a field
Of blue bonnets below

They placed a marker saying
"May you rest in peace"
Now their souls swirled together
In the blue bonnet breeze

Hmm-mmm
Bringing sweet memories to mind
Hmm-mmm
Marking a sweet place in time
Hoo-mmm
Doing whatever they please
Mmm-hmm
Making love in the blue bonnet breeze
