Darlin', I don't want to rope and brand you
And I don't want to stake a claim
And I don't want to fence you in
Darlin', I just want to drink from your stream

(Chorus):

For your love is like the mountain water:
clear and sparklin' as the dew
And to love you until my life is over
is all I've ever wanted from you

I don't want to take the gold out of you heart, love
And I don't want to take the sparkle from your eye
But let me rest in the shade of your love
and drink from your stream for awhile

(Chorus)

Darlin', you are my gold and my silver
You are my sunshine and my rain
And I don't want to make you my possession
Darlin', I just want to drink from your stream

(Chorus
