I remember the teacher man that walked into our town He said life's like a mountain tall, you've got to reach the crown He said life's like a mountain rising from the city sky He said you got to climb, my friend, you really have to try To go up, up, up, up, u-up Up, up, up, u-up Up, up, up, u-up up I was halfway up the mountain I was halfway up the mountain I was halfway up the mountain when I met you Halfway up the mountain Only halfway up the mountain I was halfway up the mountain when I met you I was nearly tired to death and falling to the ground Funny how when things got tough I had no friends around I couldn't take another step, that mountain was too high And then I heard your voice say, "Love, we'll get there by and by" Come on, up, up, up, up, u-up Up, up, up, u-up Up, up, up, u-up up I was halfway up the mountain I was halfway up the mountain I was halfway up the mountain when I met you Halfway up the mountain Only halfway up the mountain I was halfway up the mountain when I met you You You You!
