A Girl in the Valley Lyrics by Philip Quast, Meredith Braun

The Secret Garden (Original London Cast Recording)

0

[ARCHIBALD]
A girl I saw in a valley
A girl I hardly knew
A girl at work in a garden
Grew to love me
[LILY]
A man who came to my valley
A man I hardly knew
A man who came to my garden
Grew to love me
From the gate
He called out so kindly
"Lass, wouldst thou 'low me
Rest here? I've ridden quite far"
[ARCHIBALD]
"Share my tea"
She bade me so gently
Oatcakes and cream
Sweet plums in a jar
[LILY]
And every day to my garden
This man (Who might he be?)
Came bearing baskets of roses
For he loved me
[ARCHIBALD]
All I own I'd give
[LILY]
Just a garden
[ARCHIBALD]
All I would ask is never to—
[LILY]
Never to leave
[ARCHIBALD]
Say you'll have me
[LILY]
Safe you will keep me
[LILY & ARCHIBALD]
Where you would lead me
There
[ARCHIBALD]
I would
[LILY & ARCHIBALD]
There I would, there I would
There I would go
[LILY]
A man who came to my valley
[ARCHIBALD]
A girl who came to my valley
[LILY]
A man I hardly knew
[ARCHIBALD]
A girl I hardly knew
[LILY]
A man who gave me a garden
[ARCHIBALD]
A girl who gave me a garden
[LILY & ARCHIBALD]
Grew to love me
[ARCHIBALD]
All I own I'd give
[LILY]
Just a garden
[ARCHIBALD]
All I would ask is never to—
[LILY]
Never to leave
[ARCHIBALD]
Say you'll have me
[LILY]
Safe you will keep me
[LILY & ARCHIBALD]
Where you would lead me
There
[ARCHIBALD]
I would
[LILY & ARCHIBALD]
There I would, there I would
There I would go
[MARY]
Skip, skipped the ladies to the master's gate
Sip, sipped the ladies while the master ate
Tiptoed the chambermaid and stole their pearls
Snip, snipped the gardener and cut off their curls
[BEN]
Come along, love, come fly away, fly along
Come along, fly away home
