HEARTBREAK HILL
(Emmylou Harris / Paul Kennerley)


Long long time ago when we were young 
You swore to me I would be the one 
I would be the one you loved 
But we had to part 
You asked me to wait for you 
To keep you in my heart 
To keep you in my heart 

Night after lonely night i'm waiting for you still 
High above the lights of town here on Heartbreak Hill 

Now maybe I am the foolish kind to think of 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 coming back to me someday 
Back to me someday 

Night after lonely night i'm waiting for you still 
High above the lights of town here on Heartbreak Hill 

On Heartbreak Hill alone at night 
I think of how you held me tight 
And wonder if I ever will see you again 
On Heartbreak Hill 

Oh Lord if I only could go back in time enough 
I'd hold you in my arms again 
Never let you go 
Never let you go my love 
And leave me far behind 
High upon this lonely hill were you swore to be mine 
You swore to be mine 

Night after lonely night i'm waiting for you still 
High above the lights of town here on Heartbreak Hill 
Night after lonely night i'm waiting for you still 
High above the lights of town here on Heartbreak Hill 
Here on Heartbreak Hill 
Here on Heartbreak Hill
