~ Four-Leaf Clover ~

I know a place where the sun is like gold
And the cherries bloom forth in the snow
And down underneath is the loveliest place
Where the four-leaf clovers grow

One leaf is for faith and one is for hope
And one is for love you know
And God put another in for luck
If you search you will find where they grow

But you must have faith and you must have hope
You must love and be loved and so
If you search and you wait you will find the place
Where the four-leaf clovers grow

I know a place where the sun is like gold
And the four-leaf clovers grow
And where there is faith and hope and love
Eagle Island's that place you know.
