Robert's View
My father and mother spent their retirement years in a little bungalow at Clinton, Prince Edward Island, high upon a hill overlooking the majestic Southwest River. This was Robert's place. He never tired of its beauty even as he was going blind.

Listen to this song

(You'll need an MP3 player to listen.)

Lyrics
The old blue Phoenix sits idle by the door
No mud on its tires this Spring
They took away his license
His eyesight is too bad
But not as bad as Robert feels

Chorus:

Now he sits alone and does the things that old men do
Corresponds with Reader's Digest
And watches the morning news
And takes another look at Robert's view

With the eye of a carpenter God made everything
Measured every flower in the valley
Joined the sky together
With the fields of gold and green
Robert knows the secrets of creation

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:

Robert's view is worth a million dollars
But the treasures of Eternity
Are only what the heart can see

Everybody tries to find their worldly destination
One place on this earth to call home
In the rolling hills of Clinton
Where the purple lupins bloom
My father found his very own

Repeat Chorus
End
