Rest Awhile

Watch the wind as its blowing through the meadow See the ripples of the dried wheat marking time Hear the birds as they’re chirping in the tree tops And hear the tumbling of the water making rhyme Rest awhile by the brook and be happy Let the toils of the day go undone Close your eyes, dream a dream of your darling And remember that you’re still number one Feel the breeze of the wind over lapping Touch the softness of the grass where you lay Sing a song in your heart and be happy That you see and feel this goodness today Rest awhile by the brook and be happy Let the toils of the day go undone Close your eyes, dream a dream of your darling And remember that you’re her number one Breathe the freshness of this country air into you Let it register in your mind for a while and see If tomorrow never comes then you won’t regret it For you’ve lived life the way it ought to be Rest awhile by the brook and be happy Let the toils of the day go undone Close your eyes, dream a dream of your darling And remember that you’re her number one
