Lily Of The Valley Lyrics - Charlie Landsborough

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
