Down By the Lazy River...

Lets slip away
quietly down 
by lazy the river

where the rest of the 
world will pay us no
mind...

where Mother nature
treats us kind...

where little birds
love to sing...

the honey suckle 
smells so sweet

and the bees buzz....
freely...natures spring
treat...

...where our love surrenders
to mother earth...

where dusk falls...
and the crickets...
share their ...

we'll look up to the stars...
It is here that I tell
you...this love of 
ours shared, given...

how much I love you...
how my heart always
will...

down by the lazy river...
my heart waits patiently
for you still...

I carved our love
into the old oak tree
4 ever 
always since
1977
