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
