There was a girl
There was a boy

There was a girl, there was a boy
If they had met they might have found a world of joy
But he lived on the morning side of the mountain
And she lived on the twilight side of the hill

They never met, they never kissed
They will never know what happiness they missed
'Cause he lived on the morning side of the mountain
And she lived on the twilight side of the hill

For love's a rose that never grows
Without the kiss of the morning dew
And every Jack must have a Jill
To know the thrill of a dream that comes true

And you and I are just like they
For all we know our love is just a kiss away
But you are on the morning side of the mountain
And you are on the twilight side of the hill

And you and I are just like they
For all we know our love is just a kiss away
But you are on the morning side of the mountain
And you are on the twilight side of the hill

There was a girl
There was a boy
