Lyrics
I told the brook that runs down through the valley
A secret my best friend never knew.
The brook told the trees and the trees told the breeze,
That I was in love with you.
The trees told the flowers hiding there by the hilltop.
The clouds told the moon that shone above.
So angry yet blue when they found out that you
And your heart had another love.
The brook became angry and changed to a river,
rushing so madly along.
The soft summer breeze that played tag with the trees,
became so wild and so strong.
The bashful white flowers hiding there by the hilltop,
Grew dark when the rain came pouring down.
Their hearts couldn't hide all the tears that were cried,
And had carpeted upon the ground.
The storm has gone over, there'll be sunshine again.
The chains that held me are now gone.
The trees wave hello as I stand here below,
And the brook sings the sweetest song.
The bashful white flowers are again by the hill-top.
The sun and the moon are still my friends.
I promise there'll be no more heartaches for me,
Till I fall in love again.
