Lyrics to "Lily of the Valleys"

Behold, you are beautiful

You are beautiful, my love;
Behold, you are beautiful

And your eyes, they are like doves

But who am I, that you would love me

An ordinary lily of the valleys?

You raise a banner over me

Like the rising sun

Chorus

I belong to You

You belong to me

The lily of the valleys

The lily of the valleys

Under the sun

Behold, our house is filled with love

At the table where we feast

Sweetest of apples and raisins

Our joy is released

But who am I, that you would love me

An ordinary lily of the valleys?

You raise a banner over me

Like the rising sun

Chorus

I belong to You

You belong to me

The lily of the valleys

The lily of the valleys

Under the sun
