Accompaniment by Denese Coulbeck:
Lyrics
Valencia!
In my dreams it always seems
I hear you softly call to me.
Valencia!
Where the orange trees forever scent the breeze
Beside the sea.
Valencia!
In my arms I held your charms
Beneath the blossoms high above.
You loved me:
In Valencia long ago
We found our Paradise of Love
Verse
In a magic dream of memory
I see you again
In that old town far away
Beneath skies of Spain.
That city of tender romances,
So shy were your glaces
And swift as the sunshine that dances
Through the Orange Grove
