There's a singing waterfall In the mountains far away That's where I long to be At the close of everyday That's where my sweetheart's sleepin' Down beneath the clay I often sit and wonder why The Lord took her away We'd meet there every evening When the sun was sinkin' low And we'd listen to the waters As they rippled soft and low And since she's gone to Heaven I miss her most of all Tonight my darlin's sleepin' By the singing waterfall Last night as I lay dreamin' I heard my darlin' call And then I went to meet her By the singing waterfall She took me in her arms Just like she used to do And then I heard her whisper "We'll meet beyond the blue" We'd meet there every evening When the sun was sinkin' low And we'd listen to the waters As they rippled soft and low And since she's gone to Heaven I miss her most of all Tonight my darlin's sleepin' By the singing waterfall
