Heartbreak Hill
Long, long time ago
When we were young
You swore to me
I'll be the one
I'll be the one you love
But we had to part
You asked me to wait for you
And keep you in my heart
Keep you in my heart
Night after lonely night
I'm waitin' for you still
High above the lights of town
Here on Heartbreak Hill
Now maybe I'm the foolish kind
To hold you so long
Have you found another love
Am I still the one?
Am I still the one for you
But you're far away
Do you ever dream
Of comin' back to me someday?
Back to me someday
Night after lonely night
I'm waitin' for you still
High above the lights of town
Here on Heartbreak Hill
Heartbreak Hill alone at night
I'm thinkin' how you held me tight
And one day if I ever will
See you again on Heartbreak Hill
Oh Lord, if I only could go
Back in time I know
I'd hold you in my arms again
And never let you go
Never let you go my love
Or leave you far behind
High upon this lonely hill
Where you swore to be mine
You swore to be mine
Night after lonely night
I'm waitin' for you still
High above the lights of town
Here on Heartbreak Hill
Night after lonely night
I'm waitin' for you still
High above the lights of town
Here on Heartbreak Hill
Here on Heartbreak Hill
Here on Heartbreak Hill
When we were young
You swore to me
I'll be the one
I'll be the one you love
But we had to part
You asked me to wait for you
And keep you in my heart
Keep you in my heart
Night after lonely night
I'm waitin' for you still
High above the lights of town
Here on Heartbreak Hill
Now maybe I'm the foolish kind
To hold you so long
Have you found another love
Am I still the one?
Am I still the one for you
But you're far away
Do you ever dream
Of comin' back to me someday?
Back to me someday
Night after lonely night
I'm waitin' for you still
High above the lights of town
Here on Heartbreak Hill
Heartbreak Hill alone at night
I'm thinkin' how you held me tight
And one day if I ever will
See you again on Heartbreak Hill
Oh Lord, if I only could go
Back in time I know
I'd hold you in my arms again
And never let you go
Never let you go my love
Or leave you far behind
High upon this lonely hill
Where you swore to be mine
You swore to be mine
Night after lonely night
I'm waitin' for you still
High above the lights of town
Here on Heartbreak Hill
Night after lonely night
I'm waitin' for you still
High above the lights of town
Here on Heartbreak Hill
Here on Heartbreak Hill
Here on Heartbreak Hill
