Joe and Bonnie Bell

Verse 1

White limestone

Old Carter Caves

Sunlight through the canopy

Joe Bob stood straight

Bonnie Bell in lace

Kentucky

Kentucky bluegrass

The birds sang

The birds flew

The birds knew

Chorus

Oh it was so nice

It was so nice

Promises to keep

Promises to keep

Underneath the summer sun

Brother Terry said you are one

Give your girl a kiss

Joe and Bonnie

Joe and Bonnie

In the Kentucky air

Post-Chorus

Carter Caves

Carter Caves

So great

So great

Verse 2

Butterflies

Yellow wings flickering

Holding tight to shaking hands

Flowers bloomed

Flowers brightened

Flowers stayed

Looking round at faces

Old friends

New friends

Best friends

Empty chairs for the gone

Time slips

Time trips

Time drips away

Chorus

Oh it was so nice

It was so nice

Promises to keep

Promises to keep

Underneath the summer sun

Brother Terry said you are one

Give your girl a kiss

Joe and Bonnie

Joe and Bonnie

In the Kentucky air

Bridge

Where did the years go?

Where did the days go?

Where did the hours go?

Still together

Still honest

Still holding on

I remember clear as glass

Standing in the grass

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Oh it was so nice

It was so nice

Promises to keep

Promises to keep

Underneath the summer sun

Brother Terry said you are one

Give your girl a kiss

Joe and Bonnie

Joe and Bonnie

In the Kentucky air

Outro

Joe and Bonnie

Carter Caves

It was so great

So great

Still together now

Way down in the caves
