Charley Pride - Mountain of Love

Standing on the 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've cried
We 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 (on the mountain)
Weepin' my heart out 'til cold gray dawn (oh yeah)
Prayin' that you're lonely and you come here too (uh-huh)
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 your name

Way down below, said, there's a half a million people (it's our family)
Somewhere there's a church and a big tall steeple (oh yeah)
Inside the church there's an alter filled with flowers (uh-huh)
Weddin' bells are ringin' and it should have been ours
That's why I'm so lonely, our dreams 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 your name

Way down below, said, there's a half a million people (it's our family)
Somewhere there's a church and a big tall steeple (oh yeah)
Inside the church there's an alter filled with flowers (uh-huh)
Weddin' bells are ringin' and it should have been ours
That's why I'm so lonely, our dreams 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
