I see the small gray house
The road You used to walk
And hear the pleasant sound
Of Your boots against the rocks
That home is empty now
The front porch is bare
And all the maple leaves
Speak of You in sunlit air
The light is gone from the mountain
Now I know it fled with Your last breath
And what I thought was the beauty of that place
Was just the sweet love of your face
The country light I loved
The country light I loved
The country light I loved was You
Oh I am a child again
And grandpa You're so tall
I'm with You in the barn
And it's a kingly hall
I hear a steady voice
Laughing on the wind
Oh those beautiful days
That I'll never know again
The light is gone from the mountain
Now I know it fled with your last breath
And the love that lit up your face
Is a picture the days cannot erase
The country light I loved
The country light I loved
The country light I loved was You
