Standing on a mountain looking down on a city

The way I feel is a doggone pity

Teardrops fallin' down a mountainside

Many times I've been here, many times I've cried

We used to be so happy when we were in love

High on a mountain of love



Night after night I'm a-standing here alone

Weepin' my heart out till cold gray dawn

Prayin' that you're lonely and you come here too

Hoping just by chance that I'll get a glimpse of you

Tryin' 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 there's a half a million people

Somewhere there's a church with a big tall steeple

Inside a church there's an altar filled with flowers

Wedding bells are ringin' and they shoulda been ours

That's why I'm so lonely, my dreams gone 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 there's a half a million people

Somewhere there's a church with a big tall steeple

Inside a church there's an altar filled with flowers

Wedding bells are ringin' that shoulda been ours

>>>>That's why I'm so lonely, ???? from above

High on a mountain of love



High on a mountain of love

High on a mountain of love

High on a mountain of love

FADE

High on a mountain of love
