Morning Side of the Mountain - Donny Osmond

Theres a place in a piney hollow That no one but me can find Some Choctaw built it in the hillside Stone by stone in a simpler time It's a holy place my daddy showed me Back before this land of mine On the blue side of the mountain Where the sun don't ever shine So deep and dark like a hurtin' down in my heart Maybe someday they'll show me some kind of sign On the blue side of the mountain Where the sun don't ever shine I'm goin' back to a world of shadow Gotta find some peace 'fore I lose my mind On the blue side of the mountain Where the sun don't ever shine So deep and dark like a hurtin' down in my heart Maybe someday they'll show me some kind of sign On the blue side of the mountain Where the sun don't ever shine Where the sun don't ever shine

Nobody's perfect And that's something that I'm sure she'll know 'Cause trying to tell her lies from the truth at times Is like trying to divide ice from snow And when I knew it was over I jumped into a taxi and said "Just guess where to go" And the driver turned about and said, "Finding what you want is like Trying to divide ice from snow" So here I sit, rolling back to bed Knowing love's a hazard that I'd never guessed But from this side of the morning I couldn't care less I couldn't care less And nobody's helpless Although I've never felt this helpless before And trying to persuade myself not to think about her Is like trying to tell the clouds not to pour So I put down the bottle While in my head-time is collapsing and the currents run cold So I can curse her memory, but don't try telling me That she was not the emerald in a mountain of coal Or there's a crock of cures for cancer at the end of the rainbow So here I sit, rolling back to bed Knowing love's a hazard that I'd never guessed But from this side of the morning, I couldn't care less And she's the kind of girl who won't forgive but will forget So take me from this party, driver put me back to bed I wanted to be loved but just got laughed at instead So if this taxi is for hire, I'll get in the back Just to feel the friction of the tarmac and the tires So nobody's perfect And that's something that I'm sure she'll know Trying to persuade myself not to think about her Is like trying to tell the cockerels not to crow Or like trying to tell the striker not to think about the goal So here I sit, rolling back to bed Knowing love's a hazard that I'd never guessed But from this side of the morning Yeah, from this side of the morning Yeah, from this side of the morning I couldn't care less

You meet every kind of person moving toward the morning side You see the good and the bad, the eyes are sad You play every midnight gambler before you see the light On the morning side, the morning side You feel every heat and passion moving towards the morning side To earn one more second chance, you learn the dance When you finally climb the mountain, you see the other side It's the morning side, the morning side Now my life has changed and now my eyes can see Now I'm living on the morning side Now I'm letting all the sunlight into me Now I'm free And I know I'll never pass that way again That dark journey to the morning side On the morning side I feel my life begin Let's begin

I'll never let you go Why? Because I love you (I love you) I'll always love you so Why? Because you love me (you love me) No broken hearts for us, 'cause we love each other And with our faith and trust, there could be no other Why? 'Cause I love you Why? 'Cause you love me And I think you're awful sweet Why? Because I love you You say I'm your special treat Why? Because you love me We've found the perfect love, Yes, a love that's yours and mine I love you and you love me all the time Yes I love you Oh, you love me We've found the perfect love Yes, a love that's yours and mine I love you and you love me I love you and, baby, you love me We'll love each other dear forever Why? 'Cause I love you Why? 'Cause I love you Why? 'Cause I love you Oh, you love me baby Why? 'Cause I love you

And they called it puppy love Oh, I guess they'll never know How the young heart really feels And why I love us so And they called it puppy love Just because we're in our teens Tell them all, please tell them it isn't fair To take away my only dream I cry each night My tears for you My tears are all in vain I hope and I pray That maybe some day You'll be back In my arms once again Someone help me, help me Help me please Is the answer up above? How can I, oh how can I tell them This is not a puppy love Someone help me, help me Help me please Is the answer up above? How can I, oh how can I tell them This is not a puppy love (This is not a puppy love) Not a puppy love (This is not a puppy love)
