I read once that love is an uphill battle. I think the assumption of that sentiment is that scaling great heights is a chore best left to young lovers. Our alter egos Anne and Ron beg to differ.

lyrics

Anne's been climbing mountains all life long Though she might not reach the top You can bet she'll still carry on She might not believe in a predetermined fate But she's hanging from her fingernails And boy does she look great Singing yodel-lay-hee-hoo Ron's been climbing mountains all life long And though he might not reach the top You can bet he'll still carry on He might not believe that the great god has given him hope That she's given him clean air to breathe She's given him a lot of rope He's singing yodel-lay-hee-hoo She's got a beauty spot Tucked away where nobody's ever gonna find it He knows and it shows Caught him smiling as he struggled with the pantyhose She's a martyr prim and proper But he remembers when she used to live a little harder They'll elope Ya that's for sure Eyes to heaven while the angels come a-singing Yodel-lay-hee-hoo Eyes to the sky Eyes to the sea Eyes to the beauty of all that we believe + Anne's been climbing mountains all life long And though she might not reach the top You can bet she'll still carry on Ron can not believe that his life could be more complete Cause he's loving every single day with Anne up on that peak They're singing yodel-lay-hee-hoo
