High on a hilltop overlooking the city I can see the bright lights as they gleam And somewhere you're dancing in some dingy barroom And the lure of the gayness takes the place of our dream High on a hilltop my heart cries, oh Lord Forgive her she knows not the way And give me the power to believe and someday High on a hilltop together we'll pray I canvision around her with her lying so smooth With a promise of riches for you But you see not the danger cause you're silly with booze And from high on a hilltop I see the devil in you High on a hilltop my heart cries, oh Lord Forgive her she knows not the way And give me the power to believe and someday High on a hilltop together we'll pray
