In the Morning of My Life (by Lex de Azevedo & the Osmonds) (OST Where The Red Fern Grows-1974)
In the morning of my life I ran through the hills, and the whippoorwills sang their songs just for me And each brand new day was a sweet melody In the morning of my life We'd swim in the creek, playing hide & seek Like the wind wild and free. And each brand new day was a sweet melody But now the world has grown so old; The songs have been sung. There's no one left for me to hold But all of my memories remained so young. In the twilight of my life I dream of the hills, and the whippoorwills who once sang just for me Day is fading fast and now, my love, the evening is near The evening is here. how I long for one more song now for this sweet mourning of my life.
