I asked the Valley Of Echoes
If he loves me, (loves me)
And thrilled inside
As the hills replied,
"He loves me!". (loves me)

How could I guess
>From your sweet caress
That the echo told me a lie?
We had to part
And it broke my heart,
For the echo had told me a lie.

So through the valley I'll sing,
"Come back to love me!", (love me)
And if the echo can bring
You back to love me; (love me)

I'll hold you then
In my arms again
And the hills will echo a sigh,
And I'll know that the echo never told me a lie!

I'll hold you then
In my arms again
And the hills will echo a sigh,
And I'll know that the echo never told me a lie!
