Lyrics
They say in Raintree County
There’s a tree bright with blossoms of gold
But you will find the Raintree’s a state of the mind
Or a dream to enfold
It was there one day, with the buds of early May
That you came like a flame from the south
And I looked into eyes of periwinkle blue and I knew
Then I knew I’d love you in Raintree County
And I’d find what we all seek to know
We shared the golden dream
When we found our true love
In Raintree long ago
For the brave who dare
There’s a Raintree ev’rywhere
We who dreamed found it so, long ago
