I Follow the Stream

(Bob Nolan)

Have you ever roamed along by a stream that sings a song

Upon its weavin’, bendin’, ever weary, wendin’ way?

Have you ever watched a beam from the moon upon a stream

Reflect on ev’ry ripple as it rolls and rambles on?

Then come along with me and maybe you will see

Why this roving soul of mine goes…

Wandering down thru the years like a brook winding on in a dream.

Somehow it leads me home if I’ll just follow the stream.

Drifting along like a leaf on the rippling waters that gleam.

Wandering where it goes and so I follow the stream.

Thru the shady nook, the leafy vale,

Beyond the waterfall I’ll find a trail that leads me on

When the twilight appears and the moon with a pale yellow beam

Guides me along as thru the night I follow the stream.
