Standard (EADGBE)

Standing on a mountain looking down on a city,

the way I feel is a doggone pity

Teardrops falling down a 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 m a standing here alone,

weeping my heart out till cold gray dawn

Hoping that you re lonely and you come here too,

hoping 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

 The mountain of love, the mountain of love, you should be ashamed

 We used to be a mountain of love,

 but you sure 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 ringing and they should a been ours

That s why I m so lonely, my 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 sure 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 ringing and they should a been ours

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

high on a mountain of love

 high on a mountain of love

 high on a mountain of love . . .
