The Cottage

(Heikkilä/McGowan)

If only I lived in a cottage
In a nice little glade in the wood
I would rise with the sun every morning
And be ever so, ever so good.

I would make tea and toast for my breakfast
With some marmalade, butter and jam
And I'd sit at the blue chequered table
Thinking how very lucky I am.

In summer I'd walk in the sunshine
And go fishing for fun in the stream
And if none of the fishes were biting
Then I'd just close my eyes and I'd dream.

In winter I'd sit by the fire
In a rocking chair painted bright red,
And when I got tired I'd curl up
With a hot water bottle in bed.

If only I lived in a cottage
In a nice little glade in the wood
I would rise with the sun every morning
And be ever so, ever so good.
