[Verse 1]We climbed a mountainAnd I picked wildflowers and put ‘em in her hairAnd at the top we found a meadowAnd danced barefoot in the grassAnd I’m not lying there were bluebirds in the airIt was a long oneThere was a time or two we felt like giving upBut every fall and every stumble made usStop and see the wonderWith your hand in mine we pushed on towards the top[Chorus]Why, do people climb mountains?Is it just to reach the top and see the view?Well I, tell you somethingEvery rock and every riverEvery sore and every splinterI would climb every mountain with you[Verse 2]Well the clouds rolled inThere was lightning there was thunder there was rainAs we hid beneath our shelterAll the doubts that we had feltCame pouring in as a flood we had to faceThen came the sunshineThe clouds rolled back and color filled the earthAnd the rain had brought the flowersYou could sit and stare for hoursAnd the toil and the struggle showed its worth[Chorus 2]Why, do people climb mountains?Is it just to reach the top and see the view?Well I, tell you somethingEvery rock and every riverEvery sore and every splinterIn the summer, in the winterWhen it's warm and when we shiverI would climb every mountain with you[Bridge]We climbed a mountainI picked wildflowersWe climbed a mountainI picked wildflowersWe climbed a mountainI picked wildflowersWe climbed a mountainI picked wildflowers[Final Chorus]Why, do people climb mountains?Is it just to reach the top and see the view?Well I, tell you somethingEvery rock and every riverEvery sore and every splinterIn the summer, in the winterWhen it's warm and when we shiverWhen our feet are full of blistersWhen it's sweet and when it's bitterI’d climb every mountain with you
