higher mountains
You're out there among the stars It never will seem right If I could get to where you are I'd be there tonight  Were you just a dream I had How am I to know I can't hold you in my arms And I can't let you go  Higher mountains Deeper valleys Longer rivers Stand between us now I could climb that jagged peak I could cross that great divide If I knew that you'd be waiting For me on the other side  The days pass by my window now Oh, but nights like these are rough I can feel you in my heart But that's not close enough If I could hear you breathe again The comfort of your sigh I'd gladly trade tomorrow in On one more last goodbye  Higher mountains Deeper valleys Longer rivers Stand between us now  When I rise above the seas (When you rise above the earth) And the Firmaments collide (And the Firmaments collide) When I pass through Heaven's gateway Let me enter as your bride (Yes you will enter as my bride) Bluebonnets in my hair (That I will gather for you there) That you'll gather for me there  You're out there among the stars
