I went up to the mountain Because you asked me to Up over the clouds Where the sky was blue See all around me Everywhere I could see all around me Everywhere Sometimes I feel like I've never been nothin' but tired and I'll be working till the day I expire Sometimes I lay down No more can I do Then I go on again Because you ask me to Somedays I look down And I'm afraid I will fall And though the sun shines I see nothing at all Then I hear your sweet voice Come and then go Just telling me softly You love me so The peaceful valley Just over the mountain The peaceful valley Few come to know I may never get there Ever in this lifetime Sooner or later It's there I will go Sooner or later It's there I will go
