Mountain Of Love Lyrics
Charley Pride
Lyrics
Standing on a mountain looking down on a city
The way I feel is a dog-gone pity
Teardrops are fallin' down the mountainside
Many times I've been here, and many times I 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 'til cold, gray dawn
Prayin' that you're lonely and you come here too
Hopin' just by chance that I'll get a glimpse of you
Tryin' hard to find you somewhere I love
High on a mountain of love
The mountain of love, the mountain of love
You should be ashamed
We used to be a mountain of love
But you just changed you name
Way down below, there's a half a million people (people told me)
Somewhere there's a church and a big, tall steeple (oh, yeah)
Inside the church, there's an alter filled with flowers (oh-oh-oh)
Wedding bells are ringing and it should have been ours
That's why I'm so lonely, our dream's gone above
High on a mountain of love
The mountain of love, the mountain of love
You should be ashamed
We used to be a mountain of love
But you just changed you name
Way down below, there's a half a million people (people told me)
Somewhere there's a church and a big, tall steeple (oh, yeah)
Inside the church, there's an alter filled with flowers (oh-oh-oh)
Wedding bells are ringing and it should have been ours
That's why I'm so lonely, our dream's gone above
High on a mountain of love
High on a mountain of love
High on a mountain of love
High on a mountain of love
