A Full Moon in the Mountains

Vs 1

High above the mountains, an eagle is wandering Ôcross the sky.

It soars across the valleys, and then way over the ocean to be by your side.

And then spreadinÕ out its wings, it carries you in its back,

across those seven seas, to where you and I can be free.

 

Chorus

And then it soars the mountain heights, across a moonlit sky.

It carries you on the winds   circling higher all the while.

I dreamt I was an eagle, so you and I would never be apart

 

Vs 2

The cloud cover breaks, and a moon beam shines across the sky.

It shines clear across the mountains, to close the open space thatÕs come between you and me.

Then skips across the roof-tops, to wrap around the world,

And shine a guiding light, where ever you would be.

 

Chorus

And then it soars the mountain heights, across a moonlit sky.

It carries you on the winds, circling higher all the while.

I wished upon a moonbeam, so you and I would never be apart.

 

Vs 3

If I became a mountain, I would have the strength to do anything.

Standing tall as a mountain, I could send my rivers running anywhere I choose,

Yes to be a mighty mountain, you would feel the earth move,

Where ever you walk, and youÕd know that I was there with you.

 

Chorus

And we could soar the mountain heights, across this moonlit sky.

IÕd carry you on the winds, circling higher all the while.

I became a mountain, so you and I will never be apart.
