Lyrics
I would walk with you
Through the glistening blue bells
On the cliffs beside the bay.
But I?d watch the ships
As they sailed from the harbor
For my home so far away.
I would hold you near
But my first love is calling.
And peace I cannot find.
For when I?m with one
I shall long for the other
With a sadness I can?t hide.
Chorus: I could leave today.
I could wait until tomorrow.
The longer I stay
The deeper my sorrow.
My soul belongs
To the Blue Ridge Mountains
But my heart belongs to you.
Now I feel the mist
Rolling off of the mountains
And I long to touch your face.
I would walk with you
Through these gentle blue valleys
And lie in your sweet embrace.
Chorus: You could leave today.
You could wait until tomorrow.
The longer you stay
The deeper my sorrow.
My soul belongs
To the Blue Ridge Mountains.
But my heart belongs to you.
My heart belongs to you.
