( Johnny Rivers )



Standin' on a mountain lookin' down on a city

The way I feel is a doggone pity

Teardrops fallin' down the mountain side

Many times I've been here, many times I've cried

We used to be so happy when we were in love

High on a mountain of love



Mountain of love, the mountain of love

You should be ashamed

You 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 big tall steeple

Inside the church, there's an altar filled with flowers

Wedding bells are ringin' and they should've been ours

That's why I'm so lonely, my dream is gone above

High on a mountain of love



Night after night I'm a-standin' here alone

Weepin' out my heart 'til the cold grey dawn

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

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

Trying hard to find you somewhere up above

High on a mountain of love



Mountain of love, the mountain of love

You should be ashamed

You 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 big tall steeple

Inside the church, there's an altar filled with flowers

Wedding bells are ringin' and they should've been ours

That's why I'm so lonely, my dream is gone above

High on a mountain of love
