Up On the Hill

First time I saw her was up on the hill
Where the meadows give way to the woods
The grasses were green and I greener still
We were five and exploring our world.

Living downhill in the rough part of town
I didn't belong to her kind
But her folks didn't mind nor did they frown
On the street kid who worshipped their girl.

Will you wait, will you wait for me still?
No power could tear us apart
And I knew then, that I always will
Be in love with the girl on the hill.

The house on the hill was my home by day
As we quietly grew into teens
But the call to arms would send me away
And the long months dragged on into years.

Our love notes were sweet, our letters were long
They echoed our pain and our dreams
Though we were tested, our love held on strong
And our plans for the future made clear.

Will you wait, will you wait for me still?
No power could tear us apart
And I knew then, that I always will
Be in love with the girl on the hill.

Our children grew up and they moved out of town
Then her parents departed this world
Now we had our old place, could at last settle down
In our home, in the house on the hill.

But now there's a grave that I visit each day
It lies in the shade of a tree
At the top of the hill I kneel and I pray
That she will wait for me still.

Will you wait, will you wait for me still?
No power could tear us apart
And I knew then, that I always will
Be in love with the girl on the hill.
And I knew then, that I always will
Be in love with the girl on the hill.
