I Heard a Forest Playing

I Heard a Forest Playing - Johnny Mathis

Written by：Lewis

I heard a forest praying

The trees were cold and bare

What was the forest praying

Let me repeat their prayer

Trees make a playground for children

Trees hide a lovers lane

Shelter the tired and the weary

Bringing them hope again

Man turned the fields and the forest

Into a battlefield grim

Men took a tree an innocent tree

And made a cross for him

I heard a forest praying

I heard the heavens weep

Just as the dawn was breaking

And night was gone to sleep
