My friend Steve he wears his heart on his sleeve  

All the girls seem to leave him lonely  

Well, I'm a nice guy with a shoulder to cry on  

With one bit of advice only  

You gotta inch your way, working every day  

Showing her all your love  

Lighten her load but keep it on the road and you'll grow it  

So don't you blow it  

 

Take another baby step, up the mountain of love  

It's a long, long ways and so high up above  

Hold her hand so tightly and up, up you will climb  

That wonderful mountain of love, one baby step at a time  

 

Icarus standing on the shore with his dad, saying that he wants to fly  

Dad says son I can hook up the wings if you promise not to go too high  

But he forgot what he said and he lost his head  

He headed straight for the sun  

That sealed his fate, he was a little too late for returning  

Now he's burning  

 

Take another baby step, up the mountain of love  

It's a long, long ways and so high up above  

Hold her hand so tightly and up, up you will climb  

That wonderful mountain of love, one baby step at a time 

 

Keep a walking. Little bitty steps are gonna work it brother  

Keep a walking right on  

Putting one foot in front of the other, take it 

 

Take another baby step, up the mountain of love  

It's a long, long ways and so high up above  

Hold her hand so tightly and up, up you will climb  

That wonderful mountain of love, one baby step at a time
