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 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 someday High on a hilltop, together we'll pray
