by Ernest Charles (1895 - 1984)
The house on a hill
Language: English
I have a house on the top of a hill Where the clouds go drifting by, And I have a lovely garden of dreams In this house so close to the sky: Bees are humming the whole day long While Birds are singing their happy song, But Love is waiting there alone In my house on the top of a hill. I have a house on the top of a hill Where the clouds go drifting by, And each little flow'r in the garden there Lifts its smiling face to the sky. Love, I am waiting here for you In this lovely garden 'neath skies of blue, For paradise was meant for two, In my house on the top of a hill.
