Lily Of The Valley
Oh I came to this city
Be deviled by dreams
Of what I intended to be
Impatiently waiting
For life to arrive
With riches and Pleasure for me
And selfishness covered
My heart and my mind
And buried the treasure
That I left behind
Like the hillside in spring
When the world starts to sing
And My Lilly of the valley
But I trade this city of splendor and lights
For one of your idyllic nights
We knew
Oh Lilly how I miss the valley and you
Light my way
God above
Take me home
To my love
Then loneliness spoke
To my heart and in time
This fool to himself was revealed
Now I sat here and yearn
While my thoughts have returned
To a beauty no city can yield
And sorrows alone at my heart cannot bare
And pride is a coat that I no longer wear
And I leave them behind
When I go back and find
My Lilly of the Valley
And when ever my home calls gently to me
I sail away on Memories Sea
So blue
Oh Lilly how I miss the valley and you
Light my way
God above
Take me home
To my love
To my Lilly Of The Valley
