Valley of Tears
Fats Domino Lyrics
I want you to take me where I belong
Where hearts have been broken with a kiss and a song
Spend the rest of my days without any cares
Every one understands me in the valley of tears (the valley of tears)
Soft words has been spoken
So sweet and low
But my mind is made up, love has got to go
Spend the rest of my days without any cares
Every one understands me in the valley of tears (the valley of tears)

The female vocals in the background add a melancholy tone that make the song more beautiful. The entire piece is very well done. I'm so glad we had Fats Domino.

Please don't remove this song. This is one of the best of "Fats". Every song he sang takes me back to the time when words in a song was appreciated. Keep 'em coming.
