In the freedom of a child’s gleam The quiet hum of a mountain stream I think of you when I think of everything I was there when you sat and cried Holding pictures of a past that died Man this life is just not what it seems When it crashed and it fell apart I felt the stammer of your aching heart I felt the pain of your aching heart Or when she came along Full of life and a brand new song Now it feels that the valley is so far gone Wish you could see just what I see It won't be like this for eternity Things change and tears, they all will cease I was there at the curtain call On life's stage you conquered it all I'll be there when the curtain falls tonight When it crashed and it fell apart I felt the stammer of your aching heart I felt the pain of your aching heart Or when she came along Full of life and a brand new song Now it feels that the valley is so far gone When it crashed and it fell apart I felt the stammer of your aching heart I felt the pain of your aching heart Or when she came along Full of life and a brand new song Now it feels that the valley is so far gone Oooh, ah Oooh, ah When it crashed and it fell apart I felt the stammer of your aching heart I felt the pain of your aching heart Or when she came along Full of life and a brand new song Now it feels that the valley is so far gone When it crashed and it fell apart I felt the stammer of your aching heart I felt the pain of your aching heart Or when she came along Full of life and a brand new song Now it feels that the valley is so far gone I'll be there when the curtain falls tonight
