I
SOMETIMES I GET SO LOW, IN THE VALLEY.
AND FEEL, ALL MY HOPE IS GONE.
FEEL I DON'T HAVE A FRIEND, ABOUT ME.
BUT IT'S THERE FOR AWHILE, AND THEN IT'S GONE.
II
WHEN I GET SO LOW, IN THE VALLEY.
I GET, ON MY KNEES AND PRAY.
AND I SURELY THANK THE LORD,
BECAUSE IT'S ONLY THERE FOR AWHILE, AND THEN IT'S GONE.
CHORUS
IT'S THERE FOR A WHILE AND THEN IT'S GONE.
THIS VALLEY THE DEVIL TRIED TO MAKE ME STAY FOR SO LONG.
I HAVE MANY TRIALS AND MANY HEARTACHES, ALONG THIS WAY.
BUT THEY'RE THERE FOR AWHILE, AND THEN THEY GO.
