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)
