Cabin on the Hill

There's a happy child at home
In my memory I can see
Standing out upon the hill
In the shadow of a tree

If I only had my way
It would give my heart a thrill
Just to simply wonder back
To the cabin on the hill

Oh I want to wonder back
To the cabin on the hill
Neath the shadow of the tree
I would like to linger still

Just to be with those I love
Joy my heart would overfill
And I want to wonder back
To the cabin on the hill

But the sadness of it all
I could never more return
To that happy child at home
Matters not how much I yearn

If I only had my way
It would give my heart a thrill
Just to simply wonder back
To the cabin on the hill

Oh I want to wonder back
To the cabin on the hill
Neath the shadow of the tree
I would like to linger still

Just to be with those I love
Joy my heart would overfill
And I want to wonder back
To the cabin on the hill
