Landslide Lyrics

[HOLLY]
I took my love and I took it down
I climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Where the landslide brought me down

Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?
Can the child within my heart

[HOLLY with SANTANA]
Rise above?
Can I sail through the changin' ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?

[HOLLY (BRITTANY & SANTANA)]
Oh-oh (Oh-oh)
Oh-oh (Oh-oh)
Oh-oh, oh

[HOLLY with SANTANA]
Well, I've been

[HOLLY with BRITTANY & SANTANA, (HOLLY)]
Afraid of changin'
(Cause I've) built my life around you
[HOLLY (with BRITTANY)]
But (time makes you bolder)

[HOLLY with BRITTANY & SANTANA (HOLLY)]
Children get older
And I'm getting older (too)

[HOLLY]
Well

[HOLLY with BRITTANY & SANTANA]
Well, I've been afraid of changin'
'Cause I've built my life around you

[HOLLY (with BRITTANY)]
But (time makes you bolder)

[HOLLY with BRITTANY & SANTANA]
Children get older
And I'm getting older too

[HOLLY (with BRITTANY & SANTANA)]
Well, I'm getting older too
So-oh, take this love and take it down
Yeah, and if you climb a mountain and you (turn around)
[HOLLY with BRITTANY & SANTANA (HOLLY & SANTANA)]
(And if you) see my reflection in the snow-covered hills

[HOLLY (with BRITTANY & SANTANA)]
Where the landslide brought me down
And if you (see my reflection in the snow-covered hills)

Well, maybe
Well, maybe
(Well, maybe)

The landslide will bring you down

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did Glee Cast say about "Landslide"?
Genius Answer

Remembering beautiful @nayarivera today. Getting to sing in this trio with her was such a special moment. I am in utter shock and disbelief that someone so full of life and passion and talent is no longer with us. And completely heartbroken for her family.
