In the mountains far away
That's where I long to be
At the close of Ev'ry day
That's where my sweetheart's sleepin'
Down beneath the clay
I often sit and wonder
Why the Lord took her away.
[Chorus:]
We'd meet there ev'ry Ev'nin'
When the Sun was sinkin' low
And we'd listen to the waters
As they rippled soft and low
And since she's gone to Heaven
I miss her most of all
Tonight my darlin's sleepin'
By the singin' waterfall.
Last night as I lay dreamin'
I heard my darlin' call
And then I went to meet her
By the singin' waterfall
She took me in her arms
Just like she used to do
And then I heard her whisper
We'll meet beyond the blue.
[Chorus]
