Once upon a time in a land called Fantasy
17 mountains stood so high
The sea surrounded them and 2gether they would be
The only thing that ever made U cry

U said the devil told U that another mountain would appear
Every time somebody broke your heart
He said the sea would one day overflow with all your tears
And love will always leave U lonely

But I say it's only mountains and the sea
Love will conquer if U just believe
It's only mountains and the sea
There's nothing greater, U and me

Once upon a time in a haystack of despair
Happiness is sometime hard 2 find there
Africa divided, hijack in the air
It's enough 2 make U wanna lose your mind

But I say it's only mountains and the sea
Love will conquer if U just believe
It's only mountains and the sea
There's nothing greater, U and me

Guitars and drums on the 1, huh

It's only mountains and the sea
(And the girls say)
There's nothing greater, U and me

Mountains , uh

this is a fine song!


but when he sings it
it´s hard to understand

wow- thanks for posting the lyrics. i never understood some lines.

great song.

That's right...It's only mountains and the sea.

Love will conquer, I believe.

Mountains

When I saw 'Purple Rain' (the tribute band) in Dublin they played this, it was BRILLIANT! I do love that song. Purple Rain are fantastic btw, I don't normally like tribute bands, especially not Prince tribute bands! But they really are the REAL DEAL, amazingly good...Prince and the Revolution style!

Beautiful song

i remember trying so hard to figure out the words
didn't know most of what he was saying 'til i got the songbook later that year

Yeh, seen them 3 times here in Ipswich. Mountains, G&B and Kiss always get one hell of a response from the crowd...last time they were here they added '7' to the playlist, not a song I would have thought would have been easy to cover and do it justice. Brilliant!

pepper7 said:

yeah one of my faves too

this song always got me through those years of loneliness

I refuse to believe these lyrics. He definitely says, "There's nothing greater than U and me."
