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

inside a church there's an altar filled with flowers
wedding bells are ringin' that shoulda been ours

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
