With lakes all around me                  
With no one    around me

Vallies and streams  birds in the trees
              D     Am  D
Lakes that surround me                    
And hills that surround me

A place to forget all my regrets
I'd try to forget all my regrets
                  D        Am   D
And keep just    the good times
D7              G           D           G         
A place I could sleep  with nothing but peace  
I'd wake and I'd sleep
                 D        Am  D
And Feel free at all times
D7             G
