Mountain Of Love

Standing on a mountain looking down on a city. The way I feel is a doggone pity

 

Teardrops falling down a mountainside,

 

many times, I've been here, and 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,

weeping my heart out till cold gray dawn

Hoping that you're lonely and you come here too,

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

Trying hard to find you, somewhere up above, high on a mountain of love

Chorus:

The mountain of love, the 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 ringing and they should a been ours

That's why I'm so lonely, my dreams gone above,

high on a mountain of love (Chorus)

(Instrumental, then repeat last verse and chorus)

high on a mountain of love

 

high on a mountain of love

 

high on a mountain of love . . .
