I've got to be going now, though I'd rather stay
You know it is hard to leave, but I must be on my way
But before I leave you, friend, there's something that I have to say
You mean the world to me and I'll never stop loving you
'Cause what you have given me I can never repay
And if we meet again somehow, I will love you then as now
'Cause you mean the world to me
And when life is getting me down, as sometimes it will do,
My heart will come back to these mountains
And I'll remember you
I'll remember the love that we shared
And the ways that we grew
You mean the world to me and I'll never stop loving you
'Cause what you have given me I can never repay
And if we meet again somehow, I will love you then as now
'Cause you mean the world to me
Though I've got to go away, I won't leave you behind
Memories of times that we shared together
I'll carry in my mind
Some times were happy, some times were hard,
But I'm glad all those memories are mine
You mean the world to me and I'll never stop loving you
'Cause what you have given me I can never repay
And if we meet again somehow, I will love you then as now
'Cause you mean the world to me
