Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I want you to me take me
Where I belong
Where hearts have been broken
With a kiss and a song
Spend the rest of my days, dear
Without any cares
Everyone understands me
In the valley of tears
[Verse 2]
Soft words have been spoken
So sweet and low
But my mind is made up
And I must go
Spend the rest of my days, dear
Without any cares
Everyone understands me
In the valley of tears
Written by: Dave Bartholomew, Fats Domino
