If the Mountains and Rivers In My Heart - Georges Grand

Grandpa said we were inseparable Me and that old hound On a hundred acre spread The only playmate to be found When that old dog died I cried and cried And thought my world would end It's rough at seven losing your best friend Grandpa held in his arms and said There will be mountains on your path There will be rivers you must cross There will be storms that bring you down And tears and times of loss But all the things that hurt you most Are the ones that make you strong God will give you strength to carry on There will be mountains The big city lights were calling me By the time I turned eighteen So I packed my bags and said goodbye I'm off to chase my dreams On the ladder of success I'm trying hard to climb each day It always seems like somethings in my way When I think of giving up I hear him say There will be mountains on your path There will be rivers you must cross There will be storms that bring you down And tears and times of loss But all the things that hurt you most Are the ones that make you strong God will give you strength to carry on There will be rivers Someday when I have children of my own When their hearts get broken Grandpa's words I'll pass along There will be mountains on your path There will be rivers you must cross There will be storms that bring you down And tears and times of loss But all the things that hurt you most Are the ones that make you strong God will give you strength to carry on There will be storm clouds There will be rivers There will be mountains

If my heart could speak Then it could tell you How I feel about you And it's not that I don't care But my lips won't dare Say what I want them to If my lonely heart could speak If my lonely heart could speak Ahhhh You'd be surprised at What it would say to you Yes if my heart could speak I would have no problem Everything I could explain Oh and if I do you wrong Wouldn't take to long For my heart to know I caused you pain If my lonely heart could speak If my lonely heart could speak Ahhhh darling you'd, you'd be surprised At what it would say to you I've tried so hard to find the words Oooo but my stubborn heart Just remains... Bashful, speechless, and full of love Yes bashful, speechless and unchanined But hearts weren't made that way So my lips will have to say What I want, what I want you to know Ooooh and it's no secret then I'll always want you near Cause I love you, yes I love you so Though my lonely heart can't speak And my lips are there released I'm telling you that you'd, you'd be surprised At what it would say to you If my lonely heart could speak (If my heart could speak my darling) If my lonely heart could speak (It would tell you, it would tell you how I feel about you) If my lonely heart could speak (It would tell you how I want you and need you) If my lonely heart could speak (It would say these words darling) If my lonely heart could speak (It would say I love you, I love you, I love you)
