The Pretty Place

Take me to the pretty place where once we used to run all day From silver dawn to golden setting sun Take me where the water flows and bumps along on pebbled stones And sweetly sings its never ending song We're going to the pretty place, going to the pretty place Take me where the fishes swim and shimmer in and out of vision Underneath the hanging willow tree Do you remember Charlie Boots? He broke the rope Back on the slope we laughed so hard I thought I'd have to pee Going to the pretty place, the pretty place In my mind it's shining bright I've had enough of all this stuff Now I'm going to he pretty place I know our pretty place has gone it's been so long And everything and everyone I know is moving on But though my eyes are growing dim still I can see the fishes swim And I can hear that never ending song I'm going to the pretty place, going to the pretty place In my mind I see the light I've never been so ready Now I'm going to the pretty place --- The Pretty Place - Paul Kelly
