Time With You (Friendly Manitoba Song)
Author Unkown
I can see the open fields, the tall grass a blowing wild.
I can feel the wind in my face, hear the laughter of a child.
I can touch the sunlit waters and the early morning dew.
Chorus:
You are such a friendly Manitoba, I’ll spend my time with you.
You are such a friendly Manitoba, I’ll spend my time with you.
I can find a forest trail, and follow a silent stream.
I can sit alone on the bank, reflecting on a dream.
I can skip a skipping stone, or even catch a fish or two.
I have found your treasures rare, I’m richer than any king.
I have found a friend in you, you really make me want to sing.
I have found wherever I go, that’s my point of view.
