Flow gently, sweet Afton, among thy green braes,
Flow gently, I’ll sing thee a song in thy praise;
My Mary’s asleep by thy murmuring stream,
Flow gently, sweet Afton, disturb not her dream.
@Minx This beautiful, almost lullaby like song from The Brothers Gibb, has been one of my gentle favourites since it was first published. It was sung and played by me to all of my four daughters in turn when they were tucked lovingly up in their blankets each evening
Such special treasured memories LD. My lullaby songs were all hymns
I look forward to being a granny one day but it doesn’t look like it’s happening anytime soon
I can remember listening to this on the radio as a kid during the 60’s . I was quite taken by it even then.
