My mother and brother sledding (?) on Mt. Hood in Oregon.  She may be past retirement age....but she'll never quit climbing those mountains!

 

 

There=s Mountains Left for Climbing

  (Lyrics byAbigayle, 1985)

 

When I woke up this morning

I opened my eyes,

 and for the first time in ages, 

  I began to realize....  

 

It was time that I stopped crying 

                            over things that Amight have been@.

I=ve always got tomorrow             

                    and there=s time to start again!

 

                                           (Chorus)                     There=s mountains left for climbing

                                                            and prizes left to win.

                                                                      It=s time that I got movin= down

                                                            that ARoad of Life@ again.

 

                                                                     Yes...there=s mountains left for climbing

                                                           and prizes left to win.

                                                                     It=s time that I got movin= down

                                                            that ARoad of Life@ again.

 

I thought life was over.             

I couldn=t go on.

    But then I woke up this morning

                 and knew that I was wrong.  

 

There=s lots of life worth living

                        and there=s someone just for me.

The clouds have finally parted 

                    and the sunshine set me free!

 

                                                               (Chorus)   There=s mountains left for climbing

                                                              and prizes left to win.

                                                                        It=s time that I got movin= down

                                                              that ARoad of Life@ again.

 

                                                                      Yes...there=s mountains left for climbing

                                                             and prizes left to win.

                                                                       It=s time that I got moving down

                                                             that ARoad of Life@ again.  

 

I looked in the mirror                    

and what did I see?

Why it=s a smile and a twinkle...       

       and it=s comin= from me.  

 

I=m so glad the clouds have parted  

                and the sun is shining through.

Today=s a new beginning...                

          and there=s plenty left to do!
