Kimbell & Reynolds – Serenade lyrics

Verse 1
When I was young, there was a girl,
She lived down the lane
Had a way with a song,
We would play our guitars, and she'd sing
Voice of an angel, her beautiful smile,
I knew this was more than a fling...
Love came alive, on the front porch swing

Verse 2
She was known as "Serenade"
She rose from small-town fame,
People came, from miles around
To hear the songs that she sang,
They said she'd be a star, someday
She'd just smile, and give me a wink,
How could they know?
Songs she sang for me (she sang for me)

Chorus
Serenade (Serenade)
My Serenade (my Serenade)
Serenade (Serenade)
My Serenade

Verse 3
Eventually, talent agents came,
Gave her a dream-come-true
She went away, to pursue it, in style,
I thought our romance was through (it wasn't through)
Then one day, after touring the world,
She came back to me, I gave her a ring...
Rekindled the love, that began
On the front porch swing (the front porch swing)

Chorus 2
Serenade (Serenade)
My Serenade (my Serenade)
Serenade (Serenade)
My Serenade

Bridge
Yes, it's true, she stole my heart
Those summer nights, on the swing,
Children now share in the harmony
Through the life we sustain,
We wouldn't have it any other way
What love has given us,
We never would trade...(we wouldn't trade)
Singin' and playin' our songs
On the swing today (the swing today)

Chorus 3
Serenade (Serenade)
My Serenade (my Serenade)
Serenade (Serenade)
My Serenade (she's always singin' from her heart)
Serenade (Serenade)
My Serenade (my Serenade)
Serenade...
My Ser-e-nade
