When I go up to the mountains
Where the air is sweet and clean
When I hear the wild birds singing
It'll be your voice I hear
When I am lonely for the valley
And the sun is sinking low
When my poor old heart is breaking
Only love for you I'll know
Only love for you I'll know
When the old tired sun sinks low
Only love is in my heart
Now that we are far apart
When I'm up high in the mountains
And my tears are falling down
They will gather in a river
Flowing to the valley ground
They will water all the lillies
And the sweet blue columbine
And then maybe you'll remember
Happy times when you were mine.
Only love for you'll I'll know
When the tired old sun sinks low
Only love is in my heart
Now that we are far apart
When the sun sets in the mountains
And the light has gone gold
My heart should sing and take to flying
For the beauty this land holds
But my heart is sad and lonely
While I'm missing you tonight
And I'm thinking of you only
In the darkness you are light
Only love for you'll I'll know
When the tired old sun sinks low
Only love is in my heart
Now that we are far apart
Only love is in my heart
Now that we are far apart
Where the air is sweet and clean
When I hear the wild birds singing
It'll be your voice I hear
When I am lonely for the valley
And the sun is sinking low
When my poor old heart is breaking
Only love for you I'll know
Only love for you I'll know
When the old tired sun sinks low
Only love is in my heart
Now that we are far apart
When I'm up high in the mountains
And my tears are falling down
They will gather in a river
Flowing to the valley ground
They will water all the lillies
And the sweet blue columbine
And then maybe you'll remember
Happy times when you were mine.
Only love for you'll I'll know
When the tired old sun sinks low
Only love is in my heart
Now that we are far apart
When the sun sets in the mountains
And the light has gone gold
My heart should sing and take to flying
For the beauty this land holds
But my heart is sad and lonely
While I'm missing you tonight
And I'm thinking of you only
In the darkness you are light
Only love for you'll I'll know
When the tired old sun sinks low
Only love is in my heart
Now that we are far apart
Only love is in my heart
Now that we are far apart
