Honeysuckle Breeze Lyrics

[Verse 1: Derri Daugherty]
A melancholy ghost moves
Outside your window, certain
That brushing past your curtain
And dancing through the leaves
Will remind you of your first love
Who held you warm and tender
And gently asked you to surrender
To the honeysuckle breeze

[Verse 2: Terry Taylor]
Now do you see his face, love?
In the shadows and the sunlight
He held his tongue to still the dark night
Now he's whispering through the trees
To remind you of your first love
And the days before your winter
When you breathed the sweet, sweet splendor
Of the honeysuckle breeze

[Bridge 1: Gene Eugene]
Far away, far away you've wandered
And soon forgot the one who loves you still
In the ruins of the precious gifts you've squandered
Rise again
And breath again
His will [Bridge 2: Gene Eugene]
Come away, come away sweet darling
While the scent of love's still drifting on the wind
Your lover knows your hungry heart's still starving
For the gentle one
(Gentle one)
Who bids you come
(Bids you come)
To him
(To him)

[Verses 1 and 2: Derri Daugherty and Terry Taylor]
A melancholy ghost moves
(Now do you see his face, love?)
Outside your window, certain
(In the shadows and the sunlight)
That brushing past your curtain
And dancing through the leaves
Will remind you of your first love
(Held his tongue to still the dark night)
Who held you warm and tender
(Now he's whispering through the trees)
And gently asked you to surrender
To the honeysuckle breeze
And gently asked you to surrender
To the honeysuckle breeze
