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 youLight my way
God above
Take me home
To my loveThen 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 ValleyAnd when ever my home calls gently to me
I sail away on Memories Sea
So blue
