He climbed the highest peaks
With every step he took
The world beneath his feet
Was all he ever knew
But then he fell in love
With a beauty he could see
In the valley far below
One he had never seen
She was a local girl who
Smile lit the night
When he saw her for the first
He knew that she was right
But then he fell in love
With a beauty he could see
In the valley far below
One he had never seen
He climbed down from the heights
And found her by his side
And in her arms he knew
He had found his bride
The mountaineer fell in love
With a beauty he could see
In the valley far below
One he had never seen
Now he still climbs the peaks
But he does it with her there
In her eyes he finds
The beauty that mountains could ever bear
