Lyrics Emmylou Harris

Emmylou Harris

Heartbreak Hill

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
