Beside a Babbling Brook by Ben Selvin, Irving Kaufman Lyrics

When I was younger, I used to hunger
To climbe up the lader of life
Now I grow up, I might as well own up
It's not worth of worry and strife
Things that I wanted are paid
For blessings I can not recall
And all I have I would trade
For the things I considered so small
I'd be more then satisfied
If I could hide a way beside a babling brook
Ripling waters call me far away
To quiet shady nook
Thru the woods I long to hike
To linger where the world is like a story book
Like a lazy daisy gazin' at the sky
Let me live and love
And lеt the world go by
I'd be more thеn satisfied
If I could hide a way beside a babling brook
I'd be more then satisfied
If I could hide a way beside a babling brook
Ripling waters call me far away
To quiet shady nook
Thru the woods I long to hike
To linger where the world is like a story book
Like a lazy daisy gazin' at the sky
Let me live and love
And let the world go by
I'd be more then satisfied
If I could hide a way beside a babling brook
