Another effort at writing a not-unhappy song. Not sure how I did.

I know love takes a toll on you
With all it’s highs and lows
But we’ll climb that mountain again
That’s just the way love goes

This love of ours is strong and true
It always keeps me close to you

Chorus:
After all these miles we’ve traveled
Must we go our separate ways
Let’s cross that valley one more time
And look ahead to better days

Sometimes the road is hard and long
It’s easy to get lost
But if you walk with one you love
The distance can be crossed

This love of ours is strong and true
It always keeps me close to you

Chorus:
After all these miles we’ve traveled
Must we go our separate ways
Let’s cross that valley one more time
And look ahead to better days

Bridge:
So hold on to my love
Like a tethering line
Let it bridge the distance
Between your heart and mine
