Mountain of Love

(Harold Dorman - W. Gann)



I'm 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 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 till the cold gray dawn

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

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

Trying hard to find you somewhere above

High on a mountain of love.



A mountain of love, a 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 great tall steeple

Inside the church there's an altar filled with flowers

Weddin' bells are ringing and they 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

We used to be a mountain of love

But you just changed your name.



High on a mountain of love.

High on a mountain of love...
