Beyond the Delaware Lyrics

When the sun wakes from its slumber

And it lights the valley floor

Let me be the first to see it

There is nothing I want more

When the sun climbs to its highest

On a humid summer day

Let me dive into Round Valley

Where forever I might stay

When the sun makes its departure

Over Kittatinny peaks

Let me bask in all the colors

For that's all I've ever seeked

And when the day is done there's

No concern for what's out there

Beyond the Delaware

I have driven through the prairie

Seen a thousand miles of plain

But if I stay too long

Then everything will look the same

I have wandered through the mountains

Seen the snowcaps dot the sky

But after all that climbin

I still can't reach that high

Let me stay put in my homeland

With its shades of garden green

Where if I drive thirty minutes

I have everything I need

Please forgive me if I'm callous

When I tell you I don't care

What's beyond the Delaware

When the sun wakes from its slumber

And it lights the valley floor

Let me be the first to see it

There is nothing I want more

When the sun climbs to its highest

On a humid summer day

Let me dive into Round Valley

Where forever I might stay

When the sun makes its departure

Over Kittatinny peaks

Let me bask in all the colors

For that's all I've ever seeked

And when the day is done there's

No concern for what's out there

Beyond the Delaware
