How green was my valley,
How blue were my skies,
I worshipped the love light
That shone in your eyes.

Our heavenly love dream
Has faded and gone;
No more does the sunrise
Appear with the dawn.

I still hear your laughter,
I whisper your name;
This world, dear, without you
Will never be the same.

How green was my valley,
How dear were your charms;
Come back to me darling,
Come back to my arms!

How green was my valley,
How dear were your charms;
Come back to me darling,
Come back to my arms!
