The Folks Who Live On the Hill

Many men with lofty aims strive for lofty goals
 Others play at smaller games being simpler souls
 I am of the latter brand
 All I want to do is to find a spot of land
 And live there with you
 Someday, we'll build a home on a hilltop high
 You and I
 Shiny and new a cottage that two can fill
 And we'll be pleased to be called
 "The folks who live on the hill"
 Someday, we may be adding a thing or two
 A wing or two
 We will make changes as any family will
 But we will always be called
 "The folks who live on the hill"
 Our veranda will command a view of meadows green
 The sort of view that seems to want to be seen
 And when the kids grow up and leave us
 We'll sit there watching the same old view
 Just we two
 Darby and Joan who used to be Jack and Jill
 The folks who like being called
 What they have always been called
 "The folks who live on the hill"
