Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
There’s a valley hidden in the old Sierras
Nestled down between two mountain ridges high
Where I used to while away happy hours every day
Building childhood castles ‘neath a peaceful sky
Chorus:
How I long to wander down to Wonder Valley
‘Cross the meadow where the brook comes winding thru
With the girl out yonder down in Wonder Valley
Who I vowed to love ‘neath skies forever blue
I’ll ne’er forget her tears the day we parted
As the love light in her eyes came smiling’ thru
I’d give all I own to be in Wonder Valley
Just to wander once again, sweetheart, with you
Sung by Laurence Rubenstein:
