High On A Hilltop Lyrics

High on a hilltop overlookin' the city I watch the bright lights as they gleam
For somewhere you're dancin' in some dingy barroom
And the lure of the gayness takes the place of our dreams
High on a hilltop my heart cries oh Lord forgive her she knows not the way
Just give me the power to believe and someday high on a hilltop together we'll pray
[ steel ]
I canvision around her with her lyin' so smooth with a promise of riches for you
But you see not the danger for you're silly with booze
And from high on a hilltop I see the devil in you
High on a hilltop my heart cries oh Lord...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
