Standin' on a mountain lookin' down on a city
The way I feel is a doggone pity
Teardrops fallin' from the mountainside
Many times I've been here, many times I've cried
I used to be so happy when we were in love
High on a mountain of love
Verse 2:
Night after night I've been standin' here alone
Weepin' my heart out out at the crack of dawn
Prayin' that you're lonely and you come here too
Hopin' just by chance that I'll get a trip to you
I hope I'm gonna find you somewhere in love
High on a mountain of love
Bridge:
Mountain of love, mountain of love
You should be ashamed
You used to be a mountain of love
But you've just changed your name
Verse 3:
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 should've been ours
That's why I'm so lonely, my dreams gone above
High on a mountain of love
