Deep Within Wisconsin Green

(Paula Joy Welter)
DEEP WITHIN WISCONSIN GREEN
copyright 1995, Paula Joy Welter

VERSE I:
Twenty years, we shared a room
We fought a lot, but made up soon.
Laughter, tears, and whispered dreams
Bound us close, as close can be.

VERSE II:
I remember well the day,
She took his name and moved away.
Standing in a winter's sun,
We waved goodbye and ending just begun

CHORUS:
Now far away, my sister lives,
Deep within Wisconsin green,
But sister love can build a bridge
Many thousand miles long...
So every day, I send this song
With the sparrows flying by
They carry love across the sky
To deep within Wisconsin green

VERSE III:
Twenty years have come and gone
Fading ink on letters long
But still I hear old lullabies
Duets we sang when we were five

CHORUS REPEATS:
Now far away, my sister lives,
Deep within Wisconsin green,
But sister love can build a bridge
Many thousand miles long...
So every day, I send this song
With the sparrows flying by
They carry love across the sky
To deep within Wisconsin green
To deep within Wisconsin green
