Lyrics

We walked down the old shoreline together
Hand in hand the whole way
I felt like we'd grown so much closer to each other
So I pulled her close, here's what I had to say

Only the mountains last forever
As our tears find there way down to the sea
And I know that our love might not last forever
But I'll cherish every day you're here with me

We sat down in the sand next to each other
Watched as the sun slowly slipped away
And when the moon and stars came out to greet us
I pulled her close, here's what I had to say

Only the mountains last forever
As our tears find there way down to the sea
And I know that our love might not last forever
But I'll cherish every day you're here with me

It started getting cold, so we built a fire
Watched as the flames slowly, burned away
And when the chill came back we pulled each other tighter
She looked into my eyes here's what she had to say

I know only the mountains last forever
As our tears find there way down to the sea
And I know that our love might not last forever
But I'll cherish every day you're here with me

I know only the mountains last forever
As our tears find there way down to the sea
And I know that our love might not last forever
But I'll cherish every day you're here with me

I'll cherish every day you're here with me
