lyrics

© Ron Rutherford and Rarestar Music ASCAP

Verse 1
Broken me, over you
What do you do when you lose a dream friend come true?
Our rising star didn’t get too far
We never got to what was burning in us to do

Chorus 1
But I’m happy for the time together
Talked about everything from the Yankees to the weather
Starting in June
You became my Oklahoma brother
Now I got to let you go in the month of December
Under a Tennessee moon

Verse 2
Hard to believe that I found you
A golden needle in a hay stack shining through
You brought out the best in me
With your kindness and generosity

Chorus 2
So I’m happy for the time together
Talked about everything from church to the weather
Starting in June
You became my Oklahoma brother
Now I got to let you go in the month of December
Under a Tennessee moon

Bridge
You’re a rare star, Johnny
The rarest of rare
And I’ll be luckier than lucky
If I ever find anyone to compare

Verse 3
You see I’d searched for years for this kind of joy
A music partner without one bad bone in the boy
Now my tears fall like shattered pearls
I’m going to miss you more than anything in this world

Chorus 3 – Out
Thank you for the time together
To talk about everything from music to the weather
Starting in June
You became my Oklahoma brother
Now I got to let you go in the month of December
Under a Tennessee moon
Under a Tennessee moon
Under a Tennessee moon
