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: (key Change) 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 (instrumental, same pattern as verses) (repeat bridge) (repeat verse 3, then repeat its last line and fade)
