How high high high high is the mountain when you're lonely it reaches the sky But when you're in love it don't seem as tall When you're happy in love there's no mountain at all Loneliness makes quiet sound rumble and small rivers seem so wide But love makes the sound so much sweeter Narrows the river and calms the rushing tide [ steel - el.banjo ] Loneliness makes quiet sound... How high high high high is the mountain hmm
