In the shadow of the valley I would like to settle down Wide open space Wind on my face A distant horizon The moon on the crest In the shadow of the valley That I love best You have always waited for me And you always will be there Sage brush and pine Old friends of mine A little bit further I'll find my rest In the shadow of the valley That I love best I have wandered many places But they're all the same to me Nowhere I've found To settle down A little bit further I'll find my rest In the shadow of the valley That I love best Yosemite valley That I love best
