Lyrics
When I am lonely my dreams picture to me
My home and all I’ve left behind
Some day I’ll go back to live happy and free
No worry on my mind
It’s peace that I’ll find
Chorus
Away beyond the hills in Idaho
Where yawning canyons greet the sun
As it smiles above the trees in Idaho
To say another night is done
Warm summer winds toss the waving grain
Calling me back to my home again
To dream sweet memories of long ago
Beyond the hills in Idaho
Sung here by Laurence Rubenstein:
