Once I walked through the valley
Where the tall pines grew
And the birds they sang
Of the happiness we knew

Now you're gone from the valley
And I'm all alone and blue
My life seems so empty
So empty without you

So I walk through the valley
But the birds they will not sing
Now you're gone from the valley
And you may return again

So I walk through the valley
But the birds they will not sing
For you're gone from the valley
And you may return again

No, you'll never return again
