Lyrics
The dogwoods bloomed along the creek You wore a dress the color of sky We pulled the truck up by the field And let the radio sigh No one else for miles around Just the grass and the fading light You held out your hand and I took it And the world turned soft and bright Slow dance at the edge of April Barefoot in the early green Slow dance, with the evening gentle Sweetest thing I've ever seen Hold me close, the winter's over Let the warm wind spin us round Slow dance at the edge of April Where the love is found Crickets tuning up their song Tailgate down, a quilt in the bed You laid your head upon my shoulder And I forgot what I'd said The stars came out like candle flames Over the quiet hill We swayed to a tune we both half knew And time just stood still Slow dance at the edge of April Barefoot in the early green Slow dance, with the evening gentle Sweetest thing I've ever seen Hold me close, the winter's over Let the warm wind spin us round Slow dance at the edge of April Where the love is found Years may pass and roads may bend But I'll remember when You and me and the evening air Danced like there was no end Slow dance at the edge of April Barefoot in the early green Slow dance, with the evening gentle Sweetest thing I've ever seen Hold me close, the winter's over Let the warm wind spin us round Slow dance at the edge of April Where the love is found Where the love is found Slow dance in the early green
