the girl on the mountain

there's a girl up on the mountain i once knew

i let her go and now i'm sad and blue

but sometimes late at night i pray

she'd come down to me some day

but the girl up on the mountain never knew

so she gave herself to someone else back then

thought i'd never see her face again

i found a new love of my own

broke my heart and now she's gone

but the girl up on the mountain still remain

i wish i may

i wish i might

won't every star see the night

a million diamonds up above

shine down on the one i love

the poets have a thousand tales to tell

oh

the battle of love it didn't work out well

and me i sleep out right tonight

'cause here my dream'll hold up tight

but the girl up on the mountain's up at still

oh

and i love her now

guess i always will
