Oh fair and gentle valley,
Dreaming contentedly.
Nestled between tall mountains,
Kissing the bright blue sea.
Born of the melting snowflake,
The Fraser twines through thee.
*
Oh fair and gentle valley,
Blessed by wind and rain.
Carressed by kindly seasons,
In harmonious refrain.
This native child may wander,
But I�ll return again.
*
Return, to watch the seasons
Slipping swiftly by,
Blending our souls together,
Creating a lasting tie.
Wedding us all, forever,
The Fraser Valley and I.
*
Springs fancy, ever gleeful,
Creating uncertainty.
Bursting the bud in maytime,
From mountain to mountain to sea.
Summer stilling the landscape,
Swelling the fruiting tree.
*
Autumn, with Indian Summer,
Splashing her colors around,
Upon the fabric of nature,
Blasting the sight with sound.
And wild becomes my valley,
Making my heart pound.
*
Oh, fair beloved valley
Entering winters deep,
That all the seeds of Summer,
In safety you may keep.
Draw softly down your blanket-
Of snow...and go to sleep.
