I grew up in Alabama in a valley I called home And I learned to love sweet lily from the start But I had to do my duty yes I had to do my part But the thought of leaving really breaks my heart If this war could just be over and I could go back home If I could hold and kiss her once again Then if I should die tomorrow after loving her tonight Then I would not feel my life had been in vain Cause she's my lily of the valley and I want her for my wife She's my lily of the valley I guess I've loved lily almost all my life all my life
