The Valley Below

The Valley Below Maybe there's a springtime Beyond the distant hill Where the colors shine forth From rose to daffodil Could be the songbirds sing A beautiful soft tune Knowing that summertime Will be here very soon Right now in the valley There's snow up to our knees We would give anything To feel that new spring breeze Might just be the mountain That's standing in the way We don't see the sunshine Until far into the day Someone once had told us To take the mountain down No one seems to live there No wildlife's e'er been found Yet it is a feature That's been here, oh, so long And life itself would change If ever it was gone So, for now we leave it Exactly where it stands And for all that follow There'll be no change of plans We may grumble and moan Through darkness and snow But everyone that's here Still loves this valley low
