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
