Lyrics:

BOBBIE GENTRY
'Peaceful'

Dum diddle dee dum
Diddle dee dum, diddle dee dum
Diddle dee dum, diddle dee dum

In the morning sun when no one
Will be drinkin' any more wine
And I wake up the sun up by givin' him
A fresh air full of the wind cup

And I won't be found in the shadows hangin' so low
I can wait for fate to bring around to me
Any part of my tomorrow, tomorrow

'Cause it's oh, so peaceful here
No one bendin' over my shoulder
Nobody breathing in my ear
Oh, so peaceful here

In the evening shadows are fallin'
And the dew is settlin' in my mind
And I think of my friends in the yesterday
When my plans were giggled in rhyme

I had a son while on the run
His love put a tear in my eye
But somehow I know if he'd lived to grow
He would've been a pretty nice guy, oh my, oh my

'Cause it's oh, so peaceful here
No one bendin' over my shoulder
Nobody breathing in my ear
Oh, so peaceful here

Dum diddle dee dum
Diddle dee dum, diddle dee dum
Diddle dee dum, diddle dee dum
