Way back in the forest
There's a Herdsman's Cottage
Where it is so beautiful and everlasting
Where breezes soft and sweet
Chime out a melody played on the piano
Bass notes and high notes mingle together
In this beautiful world
Which I seem to see in my mind's eye
Where time has seemed to stop...
Lost in the veil of celestial melody
Nocturnal music now plays
Out a pristine symphony
My heart stops still
And I hold my breath
Listening to that music
That seems to good to be true
Played on that enchanted piano
Of bright mahogany
Played right in that forest
Where the Herdsman's Cottage is
Oh how I love it there
In my mind's eye
I'd love to stay here
But I can't
As the picture
All too soon
Fades
