Lyrics How Green Was My Valley - Vera Lynn, Mantovani & His Orchestra

How Green Was My Valley

Wasn’t prepared for when i met you
When ivy green saw a sea of blue
And darlin', you can be the saint, i’ll be the sinner
I was endeared from the first ‘i love you'
You said, give me some space, well don’t you linger
I’ve grown accustomed to having you around
'Cause if you were the ship, i’d be the anchor
Keep me in place, but you never weigh me down
Yeah, you never bring me down
If I could bottle up your laugh for just one day
It would keep me company while you’re away
And if you ever feel alone in what we’ve made
I want you to know…
You are loved
You are felt
You are kissed
You are held
Maybe this will be our year
Maybe this time, my dear
Ring to connect, but you don’t answer
Only your breathing fills the other end
Don’t need a puzzle to fit the pieces together
That you are with her again
Now this has gone too far, when will it end?
Can’t keep track of what is real and what’s pretend
It’s okay if you choose her instead of me
But will answer these truthfully…
Are you loved?
Are you felt?
Are you kissed?
Are you held?
If the answer to these questions is no
You can always find your way back home
Where you’re loved
And you’re felt
Where you’re kissed
And you’re held
Never again will we grow apart
Sincerely, you’ll always be in my heart
