Drawn by its beauty, its steep I endeavored to climb
She was indeed an enchanting lady, a jewel set against a backdrop of blue and purple sky
I just had meet this alluring woman that had caught my wandering eye
Walking down the road, towards the mountain height
Seemed like the goal I was seeking, was still a far off sight
With my legs and feet growing weary, my resolve to reach her begin a sharp decline
I had second thoughts about meeting this eye scorching delight
I sat me down on the side of the road, my aching body to rest and retire
Forgetting for the time being, the intense object of my desire
Then something wonderful happened and suddenly my surrounding didn't seem so dire
For I realized that the beauty I was seeking was with me all the time
