Over Yonder Where the Lilies Grow
by Geoffrey O'Hara

Illustrated by Norman Rockwell


The cover of Over Yonder Where the Lilies Grow was painted by Norman Rockwell and licensed from Judge magazine.

The song writer, Geoffrey O'Hara, also wrote K-K-K-Katy, Your Eyes Have Told Me What I Did Not Know, Tennessee, I Hear You Calling Me and other less famous songs.

This sheet music cover appeared after being published on the Judge magazine cover with a slightly different caption, A Tribute From France.

I thought you might want to read the words to the song that goes with the painting.

Last night I lay a-sleeping
A vision came to me.
I saw a baby, in Flanders maybe,
Its little eyes were wet with tears
I heard a voice so clear,
It said, "Come over here."

Chorus:
Over yonder, over yonder,
Over yonder where the lilies grow.
Let us wander over yonder
Through the land of long ago.

Where the lily of France,
The Fleur-de-Lis
Is calling to you and me,
Let us wander over yonder
Through the land where the lilies grow.
