The Girl on the Mountain

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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 remains

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
The battle of love, it didn't work out well
And me, I sleep out right at night
'Cause here my dreams will hold up tight
But the girl up on the mountain's up there still
Oh, I love her now, and I guess I always will
