For my first great love, Anne of Green Gables...and also my husband :)
lyrics
Tonight I wish that you and I
could take a walk down “Lover’s Lane”
Frogs would sing to our reflections
in the twilight evening lake of shining waters
Like Anne and Gilbert, two kindred spirits were they!
But tonight, I sit on my front porch
and strum this ukulele alone
Missing you, and longing for romance
of a world that never was
And isn’t it tragic that I’m not red-headed
and you are not a farmer’s son?
And you’ve never rescued me from a sinking dory
and it isn’t 1901?
Ba ba da...
But tonight I sit on my front porch and strum this ukulele alone
Waiting for you, my handsome Canadian
to call me on the telephone
‘Cause what if a hundred years from now
a girl under a lonesome moon sighs
For days of front porches and telephones
And strumming under starry skies
Just like Matt and Rachel, two kindred spirits are we?
Well I guess God saved a little romance
For the 21st century, for you and me
For you and me, for you and me
For you and me
Ba da da da
