Peace In The Valley
101 Strings Orchestra & Singers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Howdy folks, let's go for a ride
Get your favorite one to sit by your side
Cuddle up in a sleigh
Giddyap Nellie Grey
And away we go.

While you listen to the sleigh bells ring
You're yodeling to your baby
You'll feel nice and warm
no matter how cold it may be

Take a look at little Jack and Jill
They ski down a hill that's a snowplow turn
And look there's a spill
There's a spill on the hill
When you're down it's a thrill to go up again.

Ev'rybody ought to learn to ski for that is how we first met
We were that Jack and Jill that came down a hill,
When I looked at you my hearttook a spill
Took a spill on a hill
It's a thrill that I can't forget

It Happened In Sun Valley not so very long ago
There were sunbeams in the snow
and a twinkle in your eye
I remember oh so clearly
that you nearly passed me by

Then It Happened In Sun Valley
when you slipped and fell and so did I
Now ev'ry year we go back
and then we recall that fall and that moment




When we were there on a hill
So we both take a spill and we're Jack and Jill again.

Howdy folks, let's go for a ride
Greetings everyone, let's embark on a journey


Get your favorite one to sit by your side
Invite your beloved to join you


Cuddle up in a sleigh
Get cozy in a carriage


Giddyap Nellie Grey
Encourage the horse to move


And away we go
Let's depart on our adventure

As you enjoy the sound of jingling bells


You're yodeling to your baby
You're serenading your loved one with a yodel


You'll feel nice and warm
You will experience a pleasant warmth


no matter how cold it may be
Regardless of the low temperatures


Take a look at little Jack and Jill
Observe the adventures of Jack and Jill


They ski down a hill that's a snowplow turn
They glide down a slope, executing a snowplow technique


And look there's a spill
Oh, there's an accidental fall


There's a spill on the hill
An unfortunate tumble on the incline


When you're down it's a thrill to go up again
After a fall, the exhilaration of ascending once more


Ev'rybody ought to learn to ski for that is how we first met
Everyone should learn to ski as it was the catalyst for our initial encounter


We were that Jack and Jill that came down a hill
We were the individuals sliding down a slope like Jack and Jill


When I looked at you my heart took a spill
When I gazed upon you, my heart experienced a sudden rush


Took a spill on a hill
My heart metaphorically stumbled on that hill


It's a thrill that I can't forget
It's an excitement that lingers in my memory


It Happened In Sun Valley not so very long ago
This occurrence took place in Sun Valley not too far in the past


There were sunbeams in the snow
The snow was illuminated by sunrays


and a twinkle in your eye
And a sparkle of delight in your gaze


I remember oh so clearly
I vividly recall


that you nearly passed me by
That you almost went past me without notice


Then It Happened In Sun Valley
Then, just like that, it occurred in Sun Valley


when you slipped and fell and so did I
When you stumbled and fell, and I did too


Now ev'ry year we go back
Now every year we return


and then we recall that fall and that moment
And then we reminisce about that tumble and that moment


When we were there on a hill
When we stood together on a hill


So we both take a spill and we're Jack and Jill again
So we both fall once more and become Jack and Jill once again
