I heard somebody singing
An old, old tune
It could have been September
It might have been in June
Overhead the stars were shining
In the Milky Way
Over the hills and far away
I heard somebody whisper
Soft and low
I will never leave you
Never will I go
Never will I wander
Never will I stray
Over the hills and far away
Over the hills and far away
I heard somebody saying
Come what may
I will always love you
Forever and a day
I'll love you when the sun is shining
When skies are grey
Over the hills and far away
I heard somebody saying
Don't forget this song
Sing it when I'm with you
Sing it while I'm gone
'Cause I'll be coming back again
Come what may
From over the hills and far away
Over the hills and far away
Over the hills and far away
Over the hills and far away
Over the hills and far away
Over the hills and far away
And here am I'm only singing
That old song
I sing it when I'm lonely
I sing it when I'm strong
I sing it when the stars are shining
In the Milky Way
Over the hills and far away
Over the hills and far away
Over the hills and far away
Over the hills and far away
