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
