I Told The Brook Lyrics - Marty Robbins

I told the brook that runs down through the valley 

A secret my best friend never knew 

The brook told the trees and the trees told the breeze 

That I was in love with you 

The trees told the flowers hiding there by the hilltop 

The clouds told the moon that shone above 

So angry, yet blue, when they found out that you 

And your heart had another love 

The brook became angry and changed to a river 

Rushing so madly along 

The soft summer breeze that played tag with the trees 

Became so wild and so strong 

The bashful, white flowers hiding there by the hilltop 

Grew dark when the rain came pouring down 

Their hearts couldn't hide all the tears that were cried 

And had carpeted on the ground 

The storm passed, gone over, there's sunshine again 

The chains that held me are now gone 

The trees wave, hello, as I stand here below 

And the brook sings the sweetest song 

The bashful, white flowers are again by the hilltop 

The sun and the moon are still my friends 

I promise there'll be no more heartaches for me 

Till I fall in love again
