Down In the Valley

Down in the valley of memories I go 
searching for pieces of yesterdays past 
looking for you and your eyes all aglow 
down in the valley of grief fast in-toe 

August remembers the flowers of May 
September arrives and they all must go 
mother I miss you your smile and u'r ray 
August remembers, your liveliest day 

Daughters are prone to exist at pure will  
reaching for mothers and their special touch 
you are in heaven, and I need you still  
daughters are prone to love with-  so much

Down in the valley of memories I go 
looking for this and for that - yes I know 
you went up to live in God's Holy lair  
but I  want you to know, that I care .
