Heartbreak Hill Songtext / Lyric

(Paul Kennerley - Emmylou Harris)



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

On HeI'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.



--- Instrumental ---



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...
