A wondrous forest....Green Mansions

Lyrics

GREEN MANSIONS

Verse

I STOOD ON THE RIDGE AND LOOKED ALL AROUND ME.
I LOOKED TO THE EAST. I LOOKED TO THE WEST.
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, I SAW THERE BEFORE ME
SOMETHING, A FOREST, BUT DIFFERENT FROM THE REST.
A MAGICAL WOODLAND LIKE NONE I?VE EVER KNOWN
A PLACE VERY SPECIAL, A PLACE TO MAKE MY OWN.

Chorus

THIS IS HOME.
I WALK IN YOUR SPLENDOR.
I EALK WITH YOUR CREATURES.
MY BED?S WHERE I LIE.

THIS IS JOY.
YOUR SIDE ARE LIKE MUSIC.
YOUR RAINDROPS CARESS ME.
MY CEILING?S YOUR SKY.

I MUST STAY HERE,
SPEND EACH DAY HERE.
HERE?S WHERE I BELONG.

BUT IF SOME TOMORROW,
I HAD TO DEPART
OH GREEN MANSIONS,
YOU WONDROUS GREEN MANSIONS,
WITH YOU I WOULD LEAVE MY HEART.
