Way down the mountain I chased a moonbeam
On the beach I built sand castles too My moonbeams faded my castles tumbled All of this was meaningless cause happiness is you No more chasing moonbeams or catching falling stars I know now my pot of gold is anywhere you are My heart won't miss you my heart goes with you Loneliness is emptiness but happiness is you I tried to doubt you and live without you Tried to deny but I love you like a do But I realize now and I'll admit it You'll always be a part of me cause happiness is you No more chasing moonbeams or catching falling stars I know now my pot of gold is anywhere you are My heart won't miss you my heart goes with you Loneliness is emptiness but happiness is you |

Just walk on out the door it's all over
Forgiving you is just a waste of time I don't believe that I'll live to regret it Cause you're ancient hist'ry to this heart of mine So many times I've heard the same old story Any fool can learn to read between the lines And this time honey you've burned all your bridges You're ancient hist'ry to this heart of mine I've marked you down as just another lonely page In the book of heartaches that you'll leave behind Cause I've found out I'm better off without you You're ancient hist'ry to this heart of mine I've marked you down as just another lonely page In the book of heartaches that you'll leave behind Cause I've found out I'm better off without you You're ancient hist'ry to this heart of mine |

I know that you're wondering who I dream about
And if I've met someone who thrills me so Well I finally met a girl who turns me inside out I'll tell you about her for you ought to know You comb her hair every morning and make sure she dresses just right You comb her hair every morning and put her to bed every night When she's around me sometimes I can hardly speak I stammer and I act just like a fool And just to hold her hand in mine makes me feel weak You know her honey don't you know it's you You comb her hair every morning and make sure she dresses just right You comb her hair every morning and put her to bed every night |

She came from the mountains Rocky Mountains eagle-high
She's from where the mountains lean up to the sky Now she's back among the Rockies where mountain thunders cry Now the wind from off the mountains wails a sad goodbye Once in Colorado Springs at the foot of old Pike's Peak I met a Rocky Mountain girl to my soul her heart let speak We went to tell her parents and an old grandmother said If you'll leave these mountains girl you'll wish that you were dead The next day I took her with me to my far-off Iowa home Way out on the flatlands where the mountain winds don't moan Each footstep we took was happy or at least it shoudn't been But I would find her listening for that same lone mountain wind She came from the mountains... Months passed as fast as antelopes until one fatal dismal dawn I walked to see morning sun shine down on where she was gone I'd known that lately she'd been sad women sometimes get that way I hadn't guessed how much was wrong until that fatal day She had left the weeping letter homesick with mountain names She was somewhere in the Rockies and I knew I'd been to blame So now in Colorado Springs I wait near old Pike's Peak Where once I met a mountain girl that mountain girl I seek She came from the mountains... |

That's what you get for lovin' me
That's what you get for lovin' me Everything you have is gone that you can see That's what you get for lovin' me I ain't the kind to hang around With any new love that I found Movin' is my stock and trade I'm movin' on I won't think of you when I'm gone So don't you shed a tear for me I ain't the love you thought I'd be I've got a hundred more like you So don't be blue I'll have a thousand 'fore I'm through Now there you go you're cryin' again Now there you go you're cryin' again But then someday your poor heart is on the mend I just might pass your way again That's what you get for lovin' me That's what you get for lovin' me Everything you have is gone that you can see That's what you get for lovin' me That's what you get for lovin' me That's what you get for lovin' me |

Cursed with sorrow pain and woe
Full of feeling I can't show Hopeless love what else for me Is this my destiny At night I toss and wonder why I must live while others die The grave would be escape for me From this my destiny I know God surely made for every man Somewhere a maid Someone stole my love from me Is this my destiny At night I toss and wonder why I must live while others die The grave would be escape for me From this my destiny |
