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
