We Should Be Together
Jim Ed Brown and the Browns · The Three Bells [Bear Family] [1993]
(Why, why, why can't we be together.)
We should be together like the rivers
That are aiming to the ocean
We should be together like the clouds
That are floating in the heaven
Melted together like sand and the sea
rocks and the earth and wind and the breeze
Darling everything's together but you and me.
(Why why why can't we be together)
(Why why why can't we be together.)
We should be together like the gold
That veins in the mountain
We should be together like the grass
That grows in the valley
Melted together like the surf and the sea
And new fallen snow and the leaves from the trees
Darling everything's together but you and me.
(Why, why, why can't we be together)
(Tell me why, why, why can't we be together.)
Love is the only thing neath the sun
That can make two lovers into one
Darling I'll be waiting until it's done.
(Why, why, why can't we be together.)
(Why, why, why can't we be together...)
