There's a girl up on the mountain I once knew
I let her go and now I'm sad and blue
Sometimes late at night, I pray
She'd come down to me someday
But the girl up on the mountain never knew
So she gave herself to someone else back then
I thought I'd never see her face again
But 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
ย
I wish I may, I wish I might
Won't ever stop to see the light
A million diamonds up above
Shine down on the one I love
The poets have a thousand tales to tell
About a love that didn't work out well
Me, I sleep, I write at night
'Cause in my dreams, I hold her tight
But the girl up on the mountain's up there still
Oh, I love her now, guess I always will
