[Verse 1]
I want you to take me
Where I belong
Where hearts have been broken
With a kiss and a song

[Chorus]
Spend the rest of my days
Without any cares
'Cause everyone understands me
Way down in the valley of tears

[Verse 2]
Some words have been spoken
So sweet and low
But my mind is made up
The past got to go

[Chorus]
Spend the rest of my days
Without any cares
Will everyone understand me
In the valley of tears?

[Saxophone Solo]
[Muted Trumpet Solo]

[Verse 3]
Some words have been spoken
So sweet and low
But my mind is made up
Love has got to go

[Chorus]
Spend the rest of my days
Without any cares
Everyone understands me
In the valley of tears
Everyone understands me
Down in the valley of tears

[Outro]
In the valley of tears
Got to go now
Down to the valley of tears
Got to go, got to go now
To the valley of tears
Got to go now, go now
To the valley, to the valley of tears
