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
