Lazy River

Words & Music by:-
Hoagy Carmichael & S Orodin

Up a lazy river by the old mill run
That lazy, lazy, river in the noon day sun
Linger in the shade of a kind old tree
Throw away your troubles, dream with me

Up a lazy river where the robin's song
Wakes that bright blue mornin', as we roll along
Blue skies up above ....everyone's in love
Up a lazy river, how happy we will be
Up a lazy river with me

Up a lazy river by that old mill run
That lazy, hazy river in the noon day sun
Linger in the shade of a kind old tree
Throw, away your troubles, dream of me

Up a lazy river where the robin's song
Wakes that bright new mornin' as we roll along
There's blue skies up above
But as long as we're in love
Up a lazy river, how happy we could be
Up a lazy river with me
