Lyrics
I just want to tell you
I think you ought to know
But words just don't come easy this time
Like they did so long ago
I tried to climb up a mountain
You waited in the valley below
Both of us thought that I'd return
For where was there left to go?
I'm not trying to say that I'm sorry
Sorrow's a thing in the past
I'm just trying to say that the horizon I'd been following
Was right beside me in you all the time
It was right beside me in you
Minutes turn into an hour
Hours turn into a year
Then years turn into a lifetime
And the lifetime turns into a tear
The tear rolls into the ocean
A wave washes up on the shore
The sand's slipping through my fingers
Your footprints aren't there anymore
I'm not trying to say that I'm sorry
Sorrow's a thing in the past
I'm just trying to say that the horizon I'd been following
Was right beside me in you all the time
It was right beside me in you
The song is already written
But if I could change just one line
I'd run down to you from that mountain
And maybe you would have been mine
I tried to climb up a mountain
You waited in the valley below
Both of us thought that I'd return
For where was there left to go?
I'm not trying to say that I'm sorry
Sorrow's a thing in the past
I'm just trying to say that the horizon I'd been following
Was right beside me in you all the time
It was right beside me in you I didn't see it
It was right beside me in you
