Resting Place

I hope there's a heaven for horses Where the meadows are deep lush and sweet With a shady spot under the oak trees For old friends to nuzzle and meet For old friends to nuzzle and meet The nights they will always be balmy With star-studded dark moleskin skies And mornings wake cool still and gentle Til the sun rises soft by and by The sun rises soft by and by The green sward will sweep through the valley And stretch to an infinite view Where wildflowers bloom and bow their heads meekly As bright water streams tumble through As bright water streams tumble through Close by the sea laps the shoreline Where the salt tang drifts warm on the air And for nought but the sheer joy of galloping swiftly They'll kick up their heels and run there They'll kick up their heels and run there The days they will always be springtime Where bird song will rise like a prayer And when I am tired care-worn and weary I'll lay down my head and rest there I'll lay down my head and rest there Yes I hope there's a heaven for horses Where the meadows are deep lush and sweet With a shady spot under the oak trees For old friends to nuzzle and meet For old friends to nuzzle and meet For old friends to nuzzle and meet
