Lake Pleasant, New York (song)

[Verse1]
From Speculator's shore, where mountains stand,
Reflecting blue in Sacandaga's sand,
The water whispers to the quiet pines,
Tracing the shore in lazy, winding lines.
Here, summer brings the hum of boats that glide,
While swimmers splash, with nowhere left to hide
From sun that warms the lake and brightens days,
In this all-season Adirondack maze.
[Chorus]
Oh Lake Pleasant, who hides in mountains great,
Your beauty glows as the morning does brake,
Your nights do shine as the stars share their light,
Oh Lake Pleasant, the wonders of your natural sight.
[Verse2]
The old fire tower on Wakely's peak,
Offers a silent, distant, watchful peek.
The trails climb upward through the moss and loam,
Guiding the hikers to their mountain home.
By Jessup River, wild and forest-bound,
Ancient, forgotten stories can be found.
Of Captain Gill, a Mohawk guide of old,
Whose timeless legends patiently unfold.
[Chorus]
Oh Lake Pleasant, who hides in mountains great,
Your beauty glows as the morning does brake,
Your nights do shine as the stars share their light,
Oh Lake Pleasant, the wonders of your natural sight.
[Verse3]
When autumn turns the hills to fire and gold,
A brilliant story waiting to be told,
The maple's crimson and the birch's gleam
Are mirrored in the Sacandaga stream.
The air grows crisp, a signal of the cold,
And hunters walk where lumbermen were bold.
Through history's paths, where logging camps once stood,
They seek their quarry in the changing wood.
[Chorus]
Oh Lake Pleasant, who hides in mountains great,
Your beauty glows as the morning does brake,
Your nights do shine as the stars share their light,
Oh Lake Pleasant, the wonders of your natural sight.
[Verse4]
In winter, silence falls on frosted ground,
And only snowmobile engines make a sound.
On Oak Mountain's slopes, the skiers carve their way,
And sleds glide down as dusk ends winter's day.
The tiny hamlet, with its courthouse bright,
Sleeps under stars in cold and quiet light.
A town of balance, wild yet keeping time,
Wrapped in the woods, serene and so sublime.
[Chorus]
Oh Lake Pleasant, who hides in mountains great,
Your beauty glows as the morning does brake,
Your nights do shine as the stars share their light,
Oh Lake Pleasant, the wonders of your natural sight.
Oh Lake Pleasant, who hides in mountains great,
Your beauty glows as the morning does brake,
Your nights do shine as the stars share their light,
Oh Lake Pleasant, the wonders of your natural sight.
