A Place of Our Own
Words by Douglas Heyes Jr.

A place of Our Own

Come Down by the Riverside
Water flowing deep and wide
Over to the other side
Kick your shoes off, come inside
Through the trees a peekaboo
Some might say an ocean view
Little cottage by the sea From the 19th century

Just outside, a garden grows
Flowers fill up the windows You can hear the river talk High up on the widow's walk
Made of stone and glass and wood
I'd build you one if I could Here's the best that I can do
From my heart, a gift to you

A place a place of our own Just a place we can call home
And we'll never feel alone In a place of our own

It's just like we pictured it Just the way we planned Northern California
Where the road turns into sand
Dancing to the music Playing in the air
In the night, the firelight And everything's alright

Quiet in the morning
Even more at night
There you are beside me
In the early morning light Sunshine through the window
Shines on you and me
As we wake up together
In our cottage by the sea

(Chorus 2)

There's a little village
A mile down the way
And the little children
Have all come out to play Can you hear the laughter?
I can hear it too
On the morning after
We said, "I love you"

(Chorus 3 & Out)
