As sung in Footlight Parade by Dick Powell, Ruby Keeler and chorus
I appreciate the simple things,
'Cause I'm awfully fond of getting
Love in a natural setting.
This is what I call the simple things:
Just a winding stream
Where I can drift and dream,
And now I'm waiting
For you.
By a waterfall
I'm calling you.
We can share it all
Beneath a ceiling of blue.
We'll spend a heavenly day
Here, where the whispering waters play.
There's a whippoorwill
That's calling 'ooh'.
By a waterfall
He's dreaming too.
There's a magic melody
Mother Nature sings to me
Beside a waterfall
With you.
By a waterfall
I'm calling you.
We can share it all
Beneath a ceiling of blue.
We'll spend a heavenly day
Here, where the whispering waters play.
There's a whippoorwill
That's calling you.
By a waterfall
He's dreaming too.
There's a magic melody
Mother Nature sings to me
Beside a waterfall
With you.
By a waterfall
I'm calling you.
We can share it all
Beneath a ceiling of blue.
We'll spend a heavenly day
Here, where the whispering waters play,
And neath the willow
There's a whippoorwill
That's calling you.
By a waterfall
He's dreaming too.
There's a magic melody
Mother Nature sings to me
Beside a waterfall
With you.
By a waterfall
I'm calling you.
We can share it all
Neath skies of blue.
We'll spend a heavenly day
Here, where the whispering waters play,
And neath the willow
There's a whippoorwill
That's calling you.
By a waterfall
He's dreaming too.
There's a magic melody
Mother Nature sings to me
Beside a waterfall
With you.
—There's a whippoorwill
That's calling you.
By a waterfall
He's dreaming too.
—There's a magic melody
Mother Nature sings to me
