I took my love, and I took it down I climbed a mountain, and I turned around And I saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills 'Til the landslide brought me down Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love? Can the child within my heart rise above? Can I sail through the changin' ocean tides? Can I handle the seasons of my life? Mm I don't know, no uh uh I don't know Well, I've been afraid of changin' 'Cause I built my life around you But time makes you bolder Children get older And I'm getting older too, oh yes I'm getting older too So Well, I've been afraid of changin' 'Cause I built my life around you But time makes you bolder Children get older, oh yes And I'm getting older too So, take this love, take it down Oh if you climb a mountain, and you turn around If you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills Well the landslide will bring it down, down And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills Well maybe the landslide will bring it down Well well the landslide will bring it down
