G C Am D

On top of a mountain top I stood and thought one day

G C Am D

I really could see a lot and if I had my way

D Am C G

A lazy young sod, I was so deep in love those days

D Am C G

As if there was nothing left, but only love I crave

G C Am D

And so I didn't know as much, her loving touch amazed

G C Am D

I was so gone with love the alphabet was a haze

D Am C G

So alone as she pulls away the funeral truck, I cried

D Am C G

I watched the clouds dissapear like a lost christmas that day

G C Am D

And now I can't seem to cope but only hope it be okay

G C Am D

If I could just see her again and we could be friends like way back when

D Am C G

It's as if I'm already dead and in my grave I lay

D Am C G

If only her love could save me now, and if somehow she'd stay...
