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
