My old friend Dave I ain't seen in a while called me the other day
He said "I've made some mistakes I can't change, and now I think I might lose Annie May
I asked for her hand, then I left her in tears, and now she won't take my calls
It was that fool in me that thought someone else might be who I had in Annie all along
I wanna go to the valley with her if she'd call me once more, then I'd be there for sure
And I know I let go of the love that she showed me, but I'm ready to change for good
And if she'll just give me the chance to get on one knee, then I'll be down in the valley with her"
I said to Dave, "Your problem's not new. It's something we all have to face
There's a fool in us all that sees the mountain so tall, but in the end, it's the valley that's safe
And I swear by the Lord of the moon and the stars that I've done wrong by Him many days
But I ask for His Mercy and Grace on this earth, 'cause without Him, we'd never change"
I wanna go down to the valley with You, so call me once more and I'd be there for sure
And I know I let go of the love that You showed me, but I'm ready to change for good
And if You'll take me back, then I'll give all I have to make it down to the valley with You
And if You'll take me back, then I'll give all I have to make it down to the valley with You
The valley is patience and the mountain is passion
And the valley's eternal and mountains aren't lasting
In the valley you'll find all good in this life
It's where Moses heard God and where Dave found his wife
And though folks might say you must conquer the heights
You ain't conquering nothing without the valley inside
Though mountains may beckon and illusions might call
Keep a valley of contentment in your heart and you'll never fall
