Halfway up the mountain

I remember the teacher man that walked into our town.
He said life's like a mountain, tall, you've got to reach the crown.
He said life's like a mountain rising from the sky.
He said you really got to climb, my friend, you really have to try

refrain:
To go up, up, up, up, u-up, up, up, up, u-up, up, up, up, u-up up, I was halfway up the mountain, I was halfway up the mountain. I was halfway up the mountain when I met you. Halfway up the mountain, only halfway up the mountain I was halfway up the mountain when I met you.

I was nearly tired to death and falling to the ground.
Funny how when things got tough I had no friends around. I couldn't take another step, that mountain was too high. But then I heard your voice say,"Love, we'll get there by and by." Come on
refrain

Halfway up the mountain, only halfway up the mountain. I was halfway up the mountain when I met you
you
you
you!
