"Cabin On The Hill" lyrics

"Cabin On The Hill"

There's a happy child at home
(There's a happy child at home)
In my memory I can see
(In my memory I can see)
Standing out upon the hill
(Standing out upon the hill)
'Neath the shadow of the tree
('Neath the shadow of the tree)
If I only had my way
(If I only had my way)
It would give my heart a thrill
(It would give my heart a thrill)
Just to simply wonder back
(Just to simply wonder back)
To the cabin on the hill
(To the cabin on the hill)

Oh, I want to wonder back
(Oh, I want to wonder back)
To the cabin on the hill
(To the cabin on the hill)
'Neath the shadow of the tree
('Neath the shadow of the tree)
I would like to linger still
(I would like to linger still)
Just to be with those I love
(Just to be with those I love)
Joy, my heart would overfill
(Joy, my heart would overfill)
Just to simply wonder back
(Just to simply wonder back)
To the cabin on the hill
(To the cabin on the hill)

But the saddest of it all
(But the saddest of it all)
I could never more return
(I could never more return)
To that happy child at home
(To that happy child at home)
Matters not how much I yearn
(Matters not how much I yearn)
If I only had my way
(If I only had my way)
It would give my heart a thrill
(It would give my heart a thrill)
Just to simply wonder back
(Just to simply wonder back)
To the cabin on the hill
(To the cabin on the hill)

Oh, I want to wonder back
(Oh, I want to wonder back)
To the cabin on the hill
(To the cabin on the hill)
'Neath the shadow of the tree
('Neath the shadow of the tree)
I would like to linger still
(I would like to linger still)
Just to be with those I love
(Just to be with those I love)
Joy, my heart would overfill
(Joy, my heart would overfill)
Just to simply wonder back
(Just to simply wonder back)
To the cabin on the hill
(To the cabin on the hill)
