“I dream a dream of Tahoe, wherever I may go I dream a dream of Tahoe, in sunshine or in snow I see its cobalt waters and the alpine afterglow And I’ll return to Tahoe from wherever I may go. Yes I’ll return to Tahoe, despite where winds may blow Where pine and aspen forest take many years to grow The air is clear and brilliant, where Sierra meets the sky It fills me with the sadness when I must say goodbye But if we keep its blueness, this lake will never die And the children of our children will never need to cry.”
