I remember the teacher man that walked into our town.

He said life's like a mountain, tall, you've got to reach the crown.

He said life's like a mountain rising from the sky.

He said you really got to climb, my friend, you really have to try....

(refrain)

To go up, up, up, up, u-up, up, up, up, u-up, up, up, up, u-up up, I was halfway up the mountain, I was halfway up the mountain. I was halfway up the mountain when I met you. Halfway up the mountain, only halfway up the mountain I was halfway up the mountain when I met you.

I was nearly tired to death and falling to the ground.

Funny how when things got tough I had no friends around. I couldn't take another step, that mountain was too high. But then I heard your voice say,"Love, we'll get there by and by." Come on (refrain) up, up, up, up, u-up, up, up, up,up, u-up, up, up, up, up,u-up

up, I was halfway up the mountain. I was halfway up the mountain. I was halfway up the mountain when I met you.

Halfway up the mountain, only halfway up the mountain. I was halfway up the mountain when I met you.....you.....you......you!
