To the strains of the Bluebonnet Waltz"
I Amcourted you through GApril
And I Ammarried you in GMay
And by Amsummer, you were Gcarrying our AmchildEm  
I reAmcall those autumn Gevenings
We would Fwaltz the nights aGway
                    F                   G       C  Cadd9-  C  G  
As I lingered in the springtime of your smile
