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

Lingring when the day is through

Its the call of the canyon

Once again Im dreaming of you

Every night I search the moonlight

Up and down the river shore

Its 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

Its the call of the canyon

Bringing back your answer to me!
