Chorus:
Valencia! In my dreams it always seems I hear you softly call to me;
Valencia! Where the orange trees forever sent the breeze beside the sea.
Valencia! In my arms I held your charms beneath the blossoms high above.
You love me; In Valencia long ago we found our paradise of love!
 
Verse:
In a magic dream of memory, I see you again, In that old town far away beneath the skies of Spain.
That city of plenty romances, So shy were your glances, And swiftly the sunshine that dances through the Orange Grove.
 
Chorus:
Valencia! In my dreams it always seems I hear you softly call to me;
Valencia! Where the orange trees forever sent the breeze beside the sea.
Valencia! In my arms I held your charms beneath the blossoms high above.
You love me; In Valencia long ago we found our paradise of love!
