Chilterns - a naïve melody
Let’s go to Chilterns to see what it’s like
While the weather is fine
Call me and note if you turned on the mike
Let’s picnic down on the hillside
Show me the path that you used to walk on
You said it was ages ago
Nothing has changed except we aren’t that strong
But we can sing along
Chilterns, magical Chilterns, what a view!
Green grass, birds sing, you love me and I love you too
Chilterns, magical hills, down the slope we go
Blue skies, so high, what a wonderful show.
We sat on the bench, being tired to walk
Wasn’t it always like this?
Hugging each other, for hours we talked
The rain saved us time for a kiss
Down home we hurried laughing like mad
Soaking wet at the end of the day
Your blue hyacinths and your roses so red
Gave some of their petals away
Chilterns, magical Chilterns, what a beautiful scene
Out in the garden we dance to a tune that you sing
Chilterns, a carpet of green, under a changeable sky
This is a paradise found on earth, a place for you and I.
