We have climbed the tall blue mountain,
to touch the eagle's wing,
Trekked the valley far below them,
to drink from crystal springs,

We have walked among the tall grasses,
through wildflowers we were lead,
They stood like noble kings and queens,
with crowns upon their heads,

The goldfinch and her family,
they kiss like you and I,
In the morning and come the evening,
they sing sweet lullabies,

I look back across the seasons,
thankful you were there,
To have wrapped my arms around you,
put ribbons in your hair,

If tomorrow holds my promise,
it will be to forever gaze into your eyes,
And dance with you forever,
in a land with no good-byes.
