The Valley

My heart lies in the valley
Where I long to be
Lay me by my baby’s side
And soft and sound I’ll sleep

I’m not gonna live by the ocean
How can I relish the sea
When my baby is on her own
In the valley, deep?

I won’t find a home in the mountains
That was meant for me
For I may live above the clouds
But my heart’s in the valley, deep

There is no life in the city
Least of all for me
Only in my baby’s arms
I will find my peace
