The Mountain Song

We climbed a mountain And I picked wildflowers and put 'em in her hair And at the top we found a meadow And danced barefoot in the grass And I'm not lying there were bluebirds in the air It was a long one There was a time or two we felt like giving up But every fall and every stumble made us Stop and see the wonder With your hand in mine we pushed on towards the top Why do people climb mountains? Is it just to reach the top and see the view? Well I'll tell you something Every rock and every river Every sore and every splinter I would climb every mountain with you Well the clouds rolled in There was lightning there was thunder there was rain As we hid beneath our shelter All the doubts that we had felt Came pouring in as a flood we had to face Then came the sunshine The clouds rolled back and color filled the earth And the rain had brought the flowers You could sit and stare for hours And the toil and the struggle showed its worth Why do people climb mountains? Is it just to reach the top and see the view? Well I'll tell you something Every rock and every river Every sore and every splinter In the summer, in the winter When it's warm and when we shiver I would climb every mountain with you I picked wildflowers We climbed a mountain I picked wildflowers We climbed a mountain I picked wildflowers We climbed a mountain I picked wildflowers Why do people climb mountains? Is it just to reach the top and see the view? Well I'll tell you something Every rock and every river Every sore and every splinter In the summer, in the winter When it's warm and when we shiver When our feet are full of blisters When it's sweet and when it's bitter I'd climb every mountain with you
