Lyrics Heartbreak Hill - Emmylou Harris

Heartbreak Hill

A 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
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 and never let you go
Never let you go my love and leave you far behind
High upon this lonely hill where you swore you’d be mine
You swore you’d 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
