This song is available on Stan Slaughter's Water All Over the World

There's a little stream that flows, down a wood I've come to know
I greet her in the morning like friend
I come to listen to her song as she swiftly rolls along
laughing as she slips around the bend
There the kildeer calls his name and the Jaybird does the same
The heron stands his vigil on the sands
And I stand my watch as well, where the rose and dogwood dwell
to feel their benediction on the land

Chorus
Little Stream, I can still hear you calling
Though my footsteps may take me far away
Through the seasons you're rising and falling
young and old each new day, you move along and you stay
and I thank you for passing my way

When Orion rules the night and the geese have taken flight
And winter holds me in his icy hand
I feel I'm lost within that wood, where I once so gladly stood
I frightened and its hard to understand
The night is cold, the night is long, and I wish for summer's song
Doubting that the sun will rise again
Then beneath the ice and snow, I hear a gentle voice I know
You're not alone, come sit with me my friend

Chorus

There's a river deep and wide and we hurry to her side
My stream is swept away without goodbye
She hears the calling of the sea and her answer sets her free
She's part of all that flows and so am I.

Little Stream I can still hear you calling
though my footsteps may take me far away
through the seasons I'm rising and falling
Young and old each new day, I move along but I stay,
and I'm thankful I'm passing this way
