Charley Pride - Mountain Of Love 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 been standing here alone
Weeping my heart out till 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
Mountain of Love, a Mountain of Love
You should be ashamed

You used to be a mountain of love
But you just changed you name
Way down below there's a half a million people
Somewhere there's a church and a big tall steeple
Inside the church there's an alter filled with flowers
Wedding bells are ringing and it should have been ours
That's why I so lonely, I dream from above
High on a mountain of love

  26. B.... W....

    Standing on a mountain looking down on a city
    The way I feel is a dog-gone pity
    Teardrops are fallin' down the mountainside

    High on a mountain of love

    Night after night I been standing here alone

    You should be ashamed

    You used to be a mountain of love

    A great performer. And paying respect to Hank.

    c.... ....

    I understand why you say he's paying respect to Hank; but I don't know if you are aware of the fact that Charlie Pride is said to be Hank's son just like Hank Jr. I would say that he is just paying respect to his dad.

  86. T.... M....

    LOVE THIS 

  87. D.... S....

    remembering good old days

    D.... S....

    can you still say good OLD Days ?

  88. J.... M....

    My mamaw thought Charley Pride was just as handsome as Elvis. And that is a lot to say for a lady who was raised in the Appalachian Mountains of northeast Tennessee (pushing ninety and still mean as a timber rattler). I myself like his songs for other reasons. I wish musicians could still remake their favorite songs without being called sellouts.

    J.... M....

    I was raised listening to all the best country singers ever

    J.... M....

    My mother loves him as well and she is from northern Manitoba Canada ..79 years and loves her music 👍❤️❤️

    J.... M....

    I love your Mawmaw,a strong woman indeed

    J.... M....

    I agree......its nice to have many renditions of a song.....

    J.... M....

    I never get tired of listening to Charlie Pride,,,,,,,,my day of Sunshine

  89. s.... ....

    Love this version! Love Charley!

  90. I.... ....

    Tite!!!!  From Big Tule RIVER!!!

  91. M.... H....

    All he recorded was good!

  92. A.... ....

    Just about every cover version you hear of this one is better than the last - Harold Dorman may have written the perfect song!!!

  93. J.... V....

    The Pride of country music does justice to the Harold Dorman classic.
    Who arranged the Wall of Strings?

  94. f.... ....

    Signed to RCA by the late Chet Atkins, one of the greats of guitar playing.  Brad Paisley is one of the best guitarists in present day country music. Music evolves, if there were no change their would be no more music stars. Every generation has it's music style.  Personally, I prefer 70's and 80's country, but there is still good stuff to be heard now.. There must be more than one version of this, the guitar solo is different than the version I'm familiar with

    f.... ....

    Brad Paisley isn't ever going to be better than anyone from the 1960's. Look at Roy Clark now that man could play a Guitar. Brad Paisley what a stupid name for a Country star.

    f.... ....

    @Robert Bales Yeah Jerry Reed too.

  95. d.... b....

    Charley was in concert in New Zealand and Australia November 2013.   Brilliant show, he is as great as ever and this song was a hit!

  96. o.... a....

    he performed several times in northern MN when I was a child. My parents bought him drinks as the bars wouldn't serve him in the mid 60s
