Roy Clark - Morningside of the Mountain lyrics

(Dick Manning - Larry Scott)

There was a girl there was a boy

If they have met they might have found a world of joy

But she lived on the morning side of the mountain

And he lived and the twilight side of the hill.

They never met they never kissed

And they have never known what happiness they missed

For she lives on the morning side of the mountain

And he lives and the twilight side of the hill.

For love's a rose that never grows

Without a kiss of a 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 I am on the twilight side of the hill...
