[lyrics]
I never knew a sweet autumn with you.
It seems we were through long by then.
It’s been more than a year since our love disappeared and I haven’t seen it since.
Chorus:
Well it’s cold on the mountain tonight
And the snow has been falling but I’ll be just fine.
The fire is burning so bright it’ll burn through the night. Burn through my life.
And I’ll think of you one more time
'Fore I sleep on the ground with the moon by my side
I can’t seem to tell you goodbye so I’ll say goodnight. I’ll say goodnight.
And the stars in sky well they look like your eyes
Whenever you smiled at me.
And it’s been a long time since I looked at those eyes but they find their way into my dreams.
Well it’s cold on the mountain tonight
And the snow has been falling but I’ll be just fine.
The fire is burning so bright it’ll burn through the night. Burn through my life.
And I’ll think of you one more time
Fore I sleep on the ground with the moon by my side
I can’t seem to tell you goodbye so I’ll say goodnight. I’ll say goodnight.
