Music Video

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, with out any cares 
everyone understands me, in the valley of tears. 
 
Some words have been spoken, so weak and low 
but my mind is made up, love has got to go 
spend the rest of my days, without any cares 
everyone understands me, in the valley of tears.
