Lyrics Higher Mountains - Emmylou Harris, Rodney Crowell

Higher Mountains

You’re out there among the stars
It never will seem right
If I could get to where you are
I’d there be there tonight
Were you just a dream I had
How am I to know?
I can’t hold you in my arms
And I can’t let you go
Higher mountains
Deeper valleys
Longer rivers
Stand between us now
I could climb that jagged peak
I could cross that great divide
If I knew that you would be waiting on the other side
The days pass my window now
Oh, but nights like these are rough
I can feel you in my heart
But that’s not close enough
If I could hear you breathe again
The comfort of your sigh
I’d gladly trade tomorrow in
On one more last goodbye
Higher mountains
Deeper valleys
Longer rivers
Stand between us now
When I rise above the seas
(When you rise above the earth)
And the Firmaments collide
(And the Firmaments collide)
When I pass through Heaven’s gateway
Let me enter as your bride
(Yes you will enter as my bride)
Bluebonnets in my hair
(That I will gather for you there)
That you’ll gather for me there
You’re out there among the stars
