About Love On a Mountain Top

"Love on a Mountain Top" is a 1968 song by singer Robert Knight. The song was written by Buzz Cason and Mac Gayden, who also penned its predecessor, "Everlasting Love". However, it only charted regionally in the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh area. Re-discovered by the UK's Northern soul scene, it got airplay by DJs in late 1973, causing a UK re-release of the record, which eventually entered the UK Singles Chart and peaked at number 10 in January 1974. A cover version by Sinitta appeared in 1989, produced by Phil Harding and Ian Curnow. It was released as the third single from Sinitta's second album, Wicked (1988). Sinitta's version of the song reached number 20 on the UK Singles Chart, and number 81 in Australia on the ARIA chart.

Love on a mountain top (love on a mountain top)
So high that we won't ever stop (high that we won't ever stop)
Making love on a mountain (do do do do do stop)
Drinking love from a fountain (do do do do do)

Oooh-a-who yeah
You know your daddy's funny he don't go for me
He warned you honey, that our love can't be
I'm from the other side of the mountain girl
But you don't care
And tonight you'll steal away and meet me up there

And we make love on a mountain top (love on a mountain top)
So high that we won't ever stop (high that we won't ever stop)
Making love on a mountain (do do do do do stop)
Drinking love from a fountain (do do do do do)

Your loving this poor boy like I'm some kind of king
When you know I'll never have a doggone thing
But high up on the mountain girl you'll find so much
It's worth a million dollars just to have your touch

And we make love on a mountain top (love on a mountain top)
So high that we won't ever stop (high that we won't ever stop)
Making love on a mountain (do do do do do stop)
Drinking love from a fountain (do do do do do)

Love on mountain top
Love on mountain top

And we make love on a mountain top (love on a mountain top)
So high that we won't ever stop (high that we won't ever stop)
Making love on a mountain (do do do do do stop)
Drinking love from a fountain (do do do do do)

Love on a mountain top
Love on a mountain top
Love on a mountain top, baby baby
Love on a mountain top
Love on a mountain top, baby baby
Love on a mountain top
Love on a mountain top
