Over The Mountain

Think I'll stop my singing today
because my little bird she flew away
She opened her wings, yes she opened them wide
flew on over to the other side, she flew

Over the mountain, Over the mountain
Over the mountain where the angels fly
Over the mountain, Over the mountain
Oh my child no time to question why

Once I looked up into an angel's face
She held my hand with an earthly grace
Now I have her face and my child has mine
I'm looking over to the other side

Over the mountain, Over the mountain
Over the mountain where the angels fly
Over the mountain, Over the mountain
Oh my child say your sad goodbye

As I let go of her hand
for the very last time
I reached on out for her guiding light
Somewhere over on the other side, I'm reaching

Over the mountain, Over the mountain
Over the mountain where the angels fly
Over the mountain, Over the mountain
Oh my child it's time to learn to pray

Oh my child it's time to dry your eyes
