I’ll paint you a picture
Of the river in flow
Colour in all the valleys
Where we used to go
I’ll paint you a picture
Of the mountains and plains
And all of the places
We’ll go again
All of the things
We used to do
Paint me a picture
Of you
I’ll write you a letter
With yesterdays news
All of our friends
And what they now do
I’ll Post you a note
From us all at home
Maybe you ‘ll read it
If youre ever alone
All of the things
We used to do
Tell me the stories
Remembering the stories
Of you

Its been a while my friend
Remembering all the things
We thought would never end
Adventures we had a few
I’ll put on my boots
Like I’m walking
Like I’m talking
And Walking with you
I’ll sing all the songs
We used to sing
Songs of the countryside
Summer and spring
Remember the music
Of where we are from
Old ones and new ones
And we’ll all play along
All of the things
We used to do
And we’re singing the music
Playing the music with you
Thanks for the stories
We used to share
They still make me laugh
I wish you were here
