MY SWEET LAND

See the hillside over yonder. There's my baby over there.
At his doorstep he is singing a lullaby.

And the child that sleeps within me. Nestles peaceful in his soul.
In my dreams I catch a glimpse as I cast a sigh.

And we are sailing on a river leading hopes and dreams afar.
In my life I've had a million. Still I close my eyes to dream up more.
Through the mountains and the hillsides of my sweet land.

For the moment I have rested, I can hear him singing gently.
Over yonder on the hillside I send my gaze...

And we are sailing on a river leading hopes and dreams afar.
In my life I've had a million. Still I close my eyes to dream up more.
Through the mountains and the hillsides of my sweet land.
