High on a hilltop overlooking the city I can see the bright lights as they gleam And somewhere you're dancing in some dingy bar room 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 some day High on a hilltop together we'll pray
I can vision a rounder with a line 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 some day High on a hilltop together we'll pray
