Someday we'll build a home on a hilltop high
You and I
Shiny and new
A cottage that two can fill
And we'll be pleased to be called
The folks who live on the hill

Someday we may be adding a thing or two
A wing or two
We will make changes
As any family will,
But we will always be called
The folks who live on the hill

Our veranda will command a view of meadows green
The sort of view that seems to want to be seen
And when the kids grow up and leave us

We'll sit and look at the same old view
Just we two
Darby and Joan
Who used to be Jack and Jill
The folks who like to be called
What they have always been called
The folks who live on the hill.
