lyrics

Lily of the Valley

Lily of the Valley
Be my beauty and sustain
Lily of the Valley
The flowers of this world are failin’ me

Lily of the Valley
Be my token and corsage
Lily of the Valley
Finally dropped the bouquet of my heart

Lily of the Valley
Be my suckle and my salve
Lily of the Valley
The sickness has come into my house

Lily of the Valley
I need Thee, oh, I need Thee
Lily of the Valley
The flowers of this world are failin’ me

You don’t read Faulkner for entertainment. Some authors are too full of gravity. You don’t read them at the beach. You read them at the grave." ... more
