Jump 'long the creekside The rock's crooked line Fun curls your hair and The days open wide
And horses trot faster 'til sparrows fall down But you just fall, laughin', to the snow on the ground You grew up by playin' the valley so wild And that's why You're so beautiful now
And, dancin' your bike to the lonesome, young mare You call up her owner; say your heart will be there You'll build a collection of scars on your knees To learn how to count the impossible trees You grew up by climbin' the birches so high And that's why You're so beautiful now
And we live so close that we probably seen The same bird, the same time They solumnly scream One day, I'll find just that friend who can see All this weird beauty Thrown right at me
Growin' by playin' the valley so wild And that's why You're so beautiful now
