“Balsam Lake”       Won’t you stop a while, and let me tell you. ’bout a special place, that I go to. Where nature’s sounds, whistle through the trees And the waves roll in, pushed by the breeze. Chorus: Balsam Lake, where I need to be Where life is slow, and so serene Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall Balsam Lake, has it all. My grandpa found, this magic place, and though he’s gone, I (can) still see his face. All my questions, he answers there, By the water, in the country air. Chorus Been going there, since ’57, To Balsam Lake, my Grandpa’s heaven One of these days, gonna stay for good Make it my home, like he said I should. Chorus
