SUNSHINE ON THE MOUNTAIN

SUNSHINE ON THE MOUNTAIN

There is sunshine on the mountain,

as shadows grow across the glen,

sounds of the bubbling fountain;

I’d like a chance to try again.


Memories of another time

in a different place now grow,

thoughts of the love we shared so fine

such as many will never know.


Everything is reminding me

of the beauty within your soul,

the part that was seen easily;

it’s that beautiful part I stole.


The sunshine in your gleaming smile,

glistening from your pretty face;

My actions - shadows for awhile

plunging me into deep disgrace.


I think the sound of your laughter

was something like the fountain makes

but my thoughts are too late after

and now the ground beneath me shakes.


There is sunshine on the mountain

as shadows grow across the glen

sounds of the bubbling fountain

I’d like a chance to try again
