Lady From Manhattan
Words and Music by Bruce Dallas

She came up here, to explore a new frontier

Bought a little house on a hill, tucked in the trees

She seems to like the green mountain life

But a part of her still loves New York City
 

I hold her tight, through every sleepless night

She used to love those city lights

But now they’re shining much too bright, for my… 

CHORUS

Lady in the valley, from Manhattan

Now she lives here in these mountains of green satin
 

She dreams of walking down Fifth Avenue

With the sights and sounds of the city’s energy

(CHORUS)

To the neighborhood where she once played
 

When we get past the fear

When tears of heartache disappear

We’ve got to persevere

So someday smiles will reappear, on my 

CHORUS B

Lady, I want to see that smile back on my Lady…

Lady in the valley, from Manhattan
