MILL VALLEY
By Rita Abrams
I’m gonna talk about a place that’s got a hold on me
Mill Valley
A little place where life feels very fine and free
Mill Valley
Where people aren’t afraid to smile
And stop and talk to you a while.
And you can be as friendly as you want to be
Mill Valley
Talkin’ ’bout Mill Valley, that’s my home
It looks as pretty in the rain as in the sun
Mill Valley
And there’s a mountain that belongs to everyone
Mill Valley
And there are creeks that run on endlessly
And trees as far as you can see
It makes you feel as if your life has just begun
Mill Valley
Talkin’ ’bout Mill Valley
Talkin’ ’bout Mill Valley, California, that’s my home
I know that there might come a time I’ll have to leave Mill Valley
And every memory will seem like make-believe
And all the good things that are mine right now
Will call to me and ask me how
I could have left them all behind
How could I leave Mill Valley
Talkin’ ’bout Mill Valley
Talkin’ ’bout Mill Valley, California, that’s my home
