nothing but a hangover of giggles i had last valentine’s day for my parents. here’s one of their favorite songs:

MORNING SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN
donny and marie osmond

[Marie:] There was a girl
[Donny:] There was a boy

[Donny:]
There was a girl, there was a boy
If they had met they might have found a world of joy
But he lived on the morning side of the mountain
And she lived on the twilight side of the hill

[Marie:]
They never met, they never kissed
They will never know what happiness they’ve missed
‘Cause he lived on the morningside of the mountain
And she lived on the twilight side of the hill

Both:
For love’s a rose that never grows
Without the kiss of the morning dew
And every Jack must have a Jill
To know the thrill of a dream that comes true

[Donny:]
And you and I are just like they
For all we know our love is just a kiss away

[Marie:]
But you are on the morning side of the mountain

[Donny:]
And you are on the twilight side of the hill

Both:
And you and I are just like they
For all we know our love is just a kiss away

[Marie:]
But you are on the morning side of the mountain

[Donny:]
And you are on the twilight side of the hill

[Marie:]
There was a girl…

[Donny:]
There was a boy…

   Want to thank you for posting this song to download and lyrics from the bottom of my heart! I have been looking for this song online for 10 years now. I am 44yrs old and I remmber lying in bed, thinking of the first ever girl I had a crush on…the only time in my life when I ever had a taste of true happiness. I knew Donny and Marie sang it, but only knew the intro lyrics and had the tune in my head. I searched for sooo long, but no-one knew the song I was thinking about. You have made me happy once again. Best wishes to you.
   Steve,Chislehurst,Kent

   I am happy to be able to find this song too… this was the song I used for my wedding video 11 years ago. I have lost the cd and was rather upset that I can’t get the song for my children’s video. Now I can! Thanks a lot!
