Take me to the Appalachian Mountains,
Over the hilltops to the place I call home.
We’re going there to find what’s forgotten,
It’s been far too long since we’ve let our hearts roam.
Weep with me my dear
For the days that are gone.
Weep with me my dear
For the years that are lost.
You brought me there and sat right beside me.
The falling leaves told the beauty of pain.
We began to remember the vibrance around us,
The seasons of joy that were washed by the rain.
Laugh with me my dear,
I’m right here beside you.
Laugh with me my dear,
Your heart has been set free.
Your heart has been set free.
You told me all the ways that I’d hurt you.
I asked for forgiveness and you gave it to me.
The cold has left us bruised and broken,
Barren and bare like the wintertime trees.
Mourn with me my dear
For the days that are gone.
Mourn with me my dear
For the years that are lost.
For the years that are lost.
The darkness of winter can’t hold us forever.
Dawn is promised in the setting sun’s hue.
So I take your hand and draw you up to me,
For our love is tried and our love is true.
Dance with me my dear,
I’m right here beside you.
Dance with me my dear,
Your heart has been set free.
Your heart has been set free.
