Highlands Lassie

She’s my Highlands Lassie
Met her on the hill
I tried to go but my heart said, “No”
And I know I never will

I went that way on a bright new day
To ski and be free in the sun
But a lassie’s eye that was blue as the sky
Said, “Tell me if you are the one”

Oh, she’s my Highlands Lassie
Met her on the hill
I tried to go but my heart said, “No”
And I know I never will

Well time stood still on that highlands hill
But reason and love aren’t the same
I’d waited so long that the right from the wrong
Weren’t rules that applied to the game

So together we skied as we raced so free
And found what few hearts ever find
A love so real that it made us feel
Forever together in kind

She’s my Highlands Lassie
Met her on the hill
I tried to go but my heart said, “No”
And I know I never will

She’s my Highlands Lassie
I love her more and more
With the sun so high in that highland sky
Found the lassie I adore

So young men beware when the day is fair
And you’re out in the highlands to ski
Be careful of girls with those long yellow curls
Or you’ll lose your heart like me

She’s my Highlands Lassie
I met her on the hill
I tried to go but my heart said, “No”
And I know I never will

She’s my Highlands Lassie
Met her on the hill
I tried to go but my heart said, “No”
And I know I never will
And I know I never will
