Story Behind The Song

I always see those old stone homes hidden back up in the trees out on secluded country roads and wonder if they have a story to tell

Song Description

Man is reminiscing about his recently departed wife

Lyrics

Honeysuckle Vine

It was a day just like today C#
When we made plans to run away F#
Find a secret place C#
And let the fires burn Ab

We couldn't wait to be alone C#
And that Summer moon just had to know F#
Where we were gonna go C#
When we made that turn Abm Ab

At the honeysuckle vine F#
By the long dirt road C#
There were sunflowers growing wild Ab
Down by the swimming hole C#
There was an old stone house F#
Hidden back up in the trees C#
Where you could hear the breeze Ab
As it whispered through the pines F F#
And love was sweet Abm Ab
Like that honeysuckle vine C#

That's the story that my grandpa told C#
As we were driving down an old dirt road F#
I could tell he was drifting back in time C# Abm Ab

He said it seems like only yesterday C#
When she was sitting right there and we were on our way F#
He made that turn and started to cry C# Abm Ab

At the honeysuckle vine F#
By the long dirt road C#
There were sunflowers growing wild Ab
Down by the swimming hole C#
There was an old stone house F#
Hidden back up in the trees C#
And you could hear the breeze Ab
As it whispered through the pines F
And love was sweet Abm Ab
Like that honeysuckle vine C#

Its only been a year since grandma passed away Ebm Bbm
When he saw the house, his eyes filled up with tears Ebm Ab
In the gentle summer breeze, I thought I heard her say Ebm. Bbm
You knew you could find me here F# Abm Ab
