Mountain Of Love Lyrics - The Memphis Sun Recordings - Johnny Rivers

Standing on a mountain looking down on a city 

The way I feel is a doggone pity 

Teardrops fallin' down a mountainside 

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 

Night after night I'm a-standing here alone 

Weepin' my heart out till cold gray dawn 

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

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

Tryin' hard to find you, somewhere 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 

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' and they shoulda been ours 

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

High on a mountain of love 

A mountain of love, a mountain of love, you should be ashamed now 

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 a church there's an altar filled with flowers 

Wedding bells are ringin' that shoulda been ours 

That's why I'm so lonely, dream 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 

High on a mountain of love
