The Mountaineer Lyrics

He climbed the highest peaks

With every step he took

The world beneath his feet

Was all he ever knew

But then he fell in love

With a beauty he could see

In the valley far below

One he had never seen

She was a local girl who

Smile lit the night

When he saw her for the first

He knew that she was right

But then he fell in love

With a beauty he could see

In the valley far below

One he had never seen

He climbed down from the heights

And found her by his side

And in her arms he knew

He had found his bride

The mountaineer fell in love

With a beauty he could see

In the valley far below

One he had never seen

Now he still climbs the peaks

But he does it with her there

In her eyes he finds

The beauty that mountains could ever bear
