The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
Just my dog and I At the edge of the universe. Well, I didn't want to bring her And I know it'll make her worse. Now I look out on forever And it must be nice down there. And they call me Shenandora in the air. Well, I'm ten feet tall, But I'm only three feet wide. And I live inside an ocean that flows On the other side. If I came back down tomorrow, Would it all be far too soon? And it looks like it's gonna be a lovely afternoon. I thought that I was going home, And all the way I kept on prayin'. I couldn't stop to turn around; Well, here I am and here I'm stayin'. It's been my longest journey And I've come through the black of night. I was tired and hungry When I saw your distant light. Well, I know this may sound crazy, But I'm sure I got here first. I'm just me, Shenandora, At the edge of the universe. I thought that I was going home, And all the way I kept on prayin'. I couldn't stop to turn around; Well, here I am and here I'm stayin'. Just my dog and I At the edge of the universe. Well, I didn't want to bring her And I know it'll make her worse. Now I look out on forever And it must be nice down there. And they call me Shenandora in the air. At the edge of the universe... (repeat 1000 times and relax, you're in heaven)
