The Highest Mountains

from Flights of Fancy by Ed Muirhead

/

about

Sometimes all is not as it seems. Spare a thought for those who put on a face each day.

lyrics

You climbed the highest mountains
With a sparkle in your eye
Life and soul of the party
Your tales could make us laugh or cry. Cry cry.

But there was something more to tell
Somewhere deeper down inside
Despite the smile you wore so well
All alone you'd often cry. Cry cry.

You hid the darkest secrets
From the people by your side
Life and soul of the party
The truth would surely make them cry. Cry cry.

But there was always more to tell
Somewhere deeper down inside
Despite the smile you wore so well
When all alone what made you cry? Cry cry.

Nobody knew the pain
No-one could feel it
Nobody knew the pain
Or how your life could deal it.

You fell the greatest distance
With a teardrop in your eye
Now without a party
Your tale would surely make us cry. Cry cry.

But there was always more to tell
Somewhere deeper down inside
Despite the smile we wear so well
When all is said and done why do we cry. Cry cry.
