standing on a mountain looking down on a city
the way i feel is a doggone pity
teardrops fallinand' down a mountainside
many times iand've been here, many times iand've cried
we used to be so happy when we were in love
high on a mountain of love
Night after night iand'm a-standing here alone
weepinand' my heart out till cold gray dawn
prayinand' that youand're lonely and you come here too
hoping just by chance that iand'll get a glimpse of you
tryinand' hard to find you, somewhere up above
high on a mountain of love
A mountain of love, a mountain of love, you should be ashamed
we used to be a mountain of love
but you just changed your name
Way down below thereand's a half a million people
somewhere thereand's a church with a big tall steeple
inside a church thereand's an altar filled with flowers
wedding bells are ringinand' and they shoulda been ours
thatand's why iand'm so lonely, my dreams gone above
high on a mountain of love

high on a mountain of love
High on a mountain of love
