Verse 1: Just across the mountains in a valley down below Lived a girl I mer back years ago Her eyes shined like diamonds her hair was of gold But that was before she left me all alone Chorus: How she lives in my memory today Oh how I miss her warm and touching ways And someday I hope she'll want to go Back to the mountains and the valley down below Verse 2: One day she came to me and said I have to go My family is moving I thought you'd want to know But I'll never forget you and your smiling face And the way that you held me with your warming grace
