MOUNTAIN OF LOVE

Johnny Rivers

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


Night after night I've been standin' here alone

Weepin' my heart 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


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


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
