standing on the mountain
looking down on a city
the way i feel is
a doggone pity
teardrops falling from
the mountain side
many times i’ve been there
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
standing here alone
weeping my heart out
until gray dawn
hoping that you love me
and you’ll come here too
hoping just by chance
i’ll get a glimpse of you
trying hard to find you
somewhere up above
high on the mountain of love
the mountain of love
the mountain of love
you should be ashamed
used to be the mountain of love
but you just changed your name
i said way down below
there’s a half a million people
somewhere there’s a church
with a great tall steeple
inside the church
altar filled with flowers
wedding bells are ringing
they should’ve been ours
that’s why i’m so lonely
way up above
high on the mountain of love
well the mountain of love
the mountain of love
you should be ashamed
used to be the mountain of love
but you just changed your name
i said way down below
there’s a half a million people
somewhere there’s a church
with a great tall steeple
inside the church
altar filled with flowers
wedding bells are ringing
they should’ve been ours
well that’s why i’m so lonely
way up above
high on the mountain of love
high on the mountain of love
high on the mountain of love
