Bette Midler Folks Who Live On The Hill Lyrics

Folks Who Live On The Hill Lyrics

Many men with lofty aims strive for lofty goals

Others play at smaller games, being simpler souls

I am of the latter brand, all I want to do

Is to find a spot of land and live there with you



Someday we'll build a home on a hilltop high, you and I

Shiny and new, a cottage that two can fill

And we'll be pleased to be called

'The Folks Who Live On The Hill'



Someday we may be adding a thing or two, a wing or two

We will make changes as any family will

But we will always be called

'The Folks Who Live On The Hill'



Our veranda will command a view of meadows green

The sort of view that seems to want to be seen

And when the kids grow up and leave us

We'll sit and look at the same old view just we two



Darby and Joan who used to be Jack and Jill

The folks like to be called

What they have always been called

'The Folks Who Live On The Hill'
