Marie: There was a girl
Donny: There was a boy
Donny:
There was a girl, there was a boy
If they had met they might have found a world of joy
But he lived on the morningside of the mountain
and she lived on the twilightside of the hill
Marie:
They never met, they never kissed
They will never know what happiness they've missed
'Cause he lived on the morningside of the mountain
and she lived on the twilightside of the hill
Both:
For love's a rose that never grows
without the kiss of the morning dew
And every Jack must have a Jill
to know the thrill of a dream that comes true
Donny:
And you and I are just like they
For all we know our love is just a kiss away
Marie:
But you are on the morningside of the mountain
Donny:
And you are on the twilightside of the hill
Both:
And you and I are just like they
For all we know our love is just a kiss away
Marie:
But you are on the morningside of the mountain
Donny:
And you are on the twilightside of the hill
Marie:
There was a girl...
Donny:
There was a boy...
Donny: There was a boy
Donny:
There was a girl, there was a boy

They will never know what happiness they've missed
'Cause he lived on the morningside of the mountain

without the kiss of the morning dew
And every Jack must have a Jill
to know the thrill of a dream that comes true
