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 on the ground
The storm passed, gone over, there's 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 hilltop 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
