A man wrote a song,
And I heard his song
Of soft moonlit streams
And young lovers' dreams,
Of wonderful places to see;
A man wrote a song
For people like me.


A man wrote of Spring
And two hearts that cling;
He spoke of a rose,
A river that flows,
The wonders that nature can do;
A man wrote a song
For people like you.


He told of helping one another,
How kind words can make a life worthwhile,
Described the face of a mother
When she sees her little one smile.


A man wrote of skies
And sweet lullabies;
He mentioned some tears
And fate through the years,
Of love that forever will be;
A man wrote a song
For you and for me.
