Mountain of Love
Standing on a mountain looking down on the 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've been standing here alone
Weeping my heart out to cold gray dawn
Praying that you're lonely and you'll come here too
Hoping just by chance that I get a glimpse of you
Trying hard to find you
Somewhere up above
High on a mountain of love
Mountain of love
A mountain of love
You should be ashamed
It used to be our 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 great tall steeple
Inside the church, there's an altar filled with flowers
Wedding bells are ringing that should have been ours
That's why I'm so lonely
Here up above
High on a mountain of love
A mountain of love
A mountain of love
You should be ashamed
It used to be our 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 great tall steeple
Inside a church, there's an altar filled with flowers
Wedding bells are ringing that should have been ours
That's why I'm so lonely
Here up above
High on a mountain of love
High on a mountain of love
High on a mountain of love
