I gave her that diamond she dreamed of,
  And I bought her a home with a view.
  I took her to the end of the rainbow,
  But all I left her was blue.
    Seems I never had time to love her,
  And now it seems time just stands still.
  I thought I was king of the mountain,
  But I was only a fool on the hill.
    Chorus:
  Now I'm here alone, after leavin' her lonely
  Lord, I'm livin' with the memory I know I can't kill.
  I thought I was king of the mountain,
  But I was only a fool on the hill.
    Repeat Chorus:
    Yeah, I thought I was king of the mountain,
  But I was only a fool on the hill.
