Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
I appreciate the simple things
‘Cause I’m awfully fond of getting
Love in a natural setting
This is what I call the simple things
Just a winding stream
Where I can drift and dream
And now I’m waiting for you
Refrain
By a waterfall I’m calling you-oo-oo-oo
We can share it all beneath a ceiling of blue
We’ll spend a heavenly day
Here where the whispering waters play
There’s a whippoorwill that’s calling you-oo-oo-oo
By a waterfall he’s dreaming, too
There’s a magic melody
Mother nature sings to me
Beside a waterfall with you
Sung here by Laurence Rubenstein:
