The Call Of The Canyon

Glenn Miller

Written by Billy Hill.

As recorded by the Glenn Miller Orchestra on August 8th 1940 with Ray Eberle.

Just a melancholy echo

Ling‘ring when the day is through

It’s the call of the canyon

Once again I’m dreaming of you

Every night I search the moonlight

Up and down the river shore

It’s the call of the canyon

Maybe I will see you once more

Standing there alone by the ashes

Of the fire we said would never die

Will I ever find an ember

Burning from the days gone by...?

Then I hear a lonely whisper

As a little spark I see

It’s the call of the canyon

Bringing back your answer to me!
