VALENCIAIn my dreams it always seemsI hear you softly call to meValenciaWhere the orange trees foreverSend the breeze beside the seaValenciaIn my arms I held your charmsBeneath the blossoms high aboveYou loved meIn Valencia long agoWe found a paradise of loveIn a magic dream of memory I see you againIn that old town far away beneath the skies of SpainThat city of romances, so shy, while you glanceSwiftly sunshine dances through the orange groves

This great voice and talent has been stilled at age 98. What a truly remarkable artist and talent he was. What a gift to America were his performances.
