G           C              Am                    D
On top of a mountain top i stood and thought one day
G              C             Am          D
I really could see a lot and if i had my way
D            Am            C                  G
A lazy young sod, i was so deep in love those days
D               Am                C           G
As if there was nothing left, but only love i crave
G               C                 Am           D
And so i didn't know as much, her loving touch amazed
G        C                   Am            D
I was so gone with love the alphabet was a haze
D               Am             C                G
So alone as she pulls away the funeral truck, i cried
D                    Am               C                   G
I watched the clouds dissapear like a lost christmas that day
G               C                Am              D
And now i can't seem to cope but only hope it be okay
G               C                 Am                                D
If i could just see her again and we could be friends like way back when
D              Am               C             D
It's as if i'm already dead and in my grave i lay
D                      Am               C                D
If only her love could save me now, and if somehow she'd stay...
