Marty Robbins - I Told The Brook lyrics

rate me

I told the brook that runs down through the valley<br />

A secret my best friend never knew<br />

The brook told the trees and the trees told the breeze<br />

That I was in love with you<br />

<br />

The trees told the flowers hiding there by the hilltop<br />

The clouds told the moon that shone above<br />

So angry, yet blue, when they found out that you<br />

And your heart had another love<br />

<br />

The brook became angry and changed to a river<br />

Rushing so madly along<br />

The soft summer breeze that played tag with the trees<br />

Became so wild and so strong<br />

<br />

The bashful, white flowers hiding there by the hilltop<br />

Grew dark when the rain came pouring down<br />

Their hearts couldn't hide all the tears that were cried<br />

And had carpeted on the ground<br />

<br />

The storm passed, gone over, there's sunshine again<br />

The chains that held me are now gone<br />

The trees wave, hello, as I stand here below<br />

And the brook sings the sweetest song<br />

<br />

The bashful, white flowers are again by the hilltop<br />

The sun and the moon are still my friends<br />

I promise there'll be no more heartaches for me<br />

Till I fall in love again
