My heart was so heavy with longing for you
My arms were so lonely, lonesome and blue
Alone in my sorrow, I heard a voice cry
A voice in the wilderness, a voice from the sky

Have faith in your darling, the voice seemed to say
Be true to her memory, she’ll come back some day
And though there was no-one, nobody to see
A voice in the wilderness brought comfort to me


We had a quarrel, I was unkind
Why did you leave me, love made me blind
My darling forgive me, I yearn for your touch
Have pity, come back now, I need you so much
Believe me and you’ll hear it, that voice from above
The voice in the wilderness, the voice of true love


Believe me and you’ll hear it, that voice from above
A voice in the wilderness, the voice of true love.
My heart was so heavy with longing for you

And though there was no-one, nobody to see

My darling forgive me, I yearn for your touch
Have pity, come back now, I need you so much

Believe me and you’ll hear it, that voice from above
A voice in the wilderness, the voice of true love.

The story is a famous one
Now worshipped, now dismissed
Rehearsed and trawled for meanings
That may well not exist
The demon at the story.’s heart
The cuckoo in the nest
Gives little of himself away
Which is of course why you will stay
In case he falters, should betray
By whom or what possessed

These are the facts of the matter
These are the names in the case
This is the story, the passion
The tim and the place
They’re laid here before you
So judge if you can –
The devil incarnate or
A misunderstood man?


His origins, his way of life
His motives – they’re all news
No shortage of detractors
To air their noisy views
The man inspires a thousand lies
The lover takes his choice
Remaining coldly in control
Aware that sadly, on the whole
It is the fool who bares his soul
I’ll give the man a voice!


These are the facts of the matter
These are the names in the case
This is the story, the passion
The time and the place
They’re laid here before you
So judge if you can –
The devil incarnate or
A misunderstood man?

It’s been so long
You say you’ve had fun
And you’ve been happy with the things you’ve done
Now you feel strange and a little unreal
Well I can understand the way you feel
You’re just a little in love
(Just a little)
You’re just a little in love
(Just a little)

Well I can see what’s happening to you
You fell in love but it’s just not true
And there’s one thing you ought to know
I need you so I’m just a little in love
(Just a little)
I’m just a little in love
(Just a little)

You know sometimes you look somewhere
You’re not stone
But there’s no one there
No one to turn to
No one to see the way you’re feeling
A-just like me
Just a little in love
(Just a little)
You’re just a little in love
(Just a little)

You say you’re willing to learn
You need a friend
A friend who will help you

‘Cos you’re just a little in love
Oh yeah a little in love
You are a little in love
With someone you just like to see
Like me, you’re in love
Oh yeah, a little in love
You’re in love

Love , can’t you see I’m alone
Can’t you give this fool a chance
A little love is all I ask
A little kindness in the night
Please don’t leave me behind
No , don’t tell me love is blind
A little love is all I ask
And that is all
Ooh love , I’ve been searchin’ so long
I’ve been searchin’ high and low
And little love is all I ask
A little sadness when you go
Maybe you’ll need a friend
Only please don’t let’s pretend
A little love is all I ask
And that is all


-I-
I wanna spread my wings
But I just can’t fly
As a string of pearls
The pretty girls go sailin’ by


-II-
Ocean deep
I’m so afraid to show my feelings
I have sailed a million ceilings
Solitary room

Ocean deep
Will I ever find a lover
Maybe she has found another
And as I cry myself to sleep
I know this love of mine I’ll keep
Ocean deep


Now , can’t you hear when I call
Can’t you hear the word I say
A little love is all I ask
A little feelin’ when we touch


Why am I still alone
I’ve got a heart without a home
A little love is all I ask
And that is all


Repeat -I-
Repeat -II-
I’m so lonely , lonely , lonely (Ocean deep)
On my own in my room
I’m so lonely
(Ocean deep)
I’m so lonely , I’m so lonely …

Had to be
No escape, no room for doubt
No way out
Seeing you, it was easy to decide
Cut and dried
Had to be
Now we know why we exist
Don’t resist, don’t even think at all
Simply fall in love
This is what
Had to be

She was easy to seduce
let her loose
In a world where the fake and shallow shine
She’ll be fine
Had to be
She’s a woman, nothing more
Falling for wathever comes along
She’s so wrong
A fool to herself
Had to be


Don’t ever tell me
How to live my life, who to love, waht to do
And don’t try to hold on
You are in my past I am no longer tied to you


Had to be (no-one can tell me)
For we get what we deserve (how I should live mu life)
Lose your nerver (no-one can tell me)
And the fates hustle in and take control (or take control)
Of your soul
Had to be
But the spark of hope remains
Adn sustains the echo of a smile
(sustains the echo of a smile)
For a while (no-one can tell me)
We’re fools to ourselves -have to be
(no-one has told me)
We’re fools (it had to be)
To ourselves
Had to be
You are the reason
I am in this world
I will be all you need
You won’t come to grief now
You’re my every thought, every word, and my every deed


Had to be (you are the reason)
For we get what we deserve (who I am in this world)
Lose your nerve (You are the reason)
And the fates hustle in and take control (I’ll take control)
Of your soul


Had to be
But the spark of hope remains
And sustains the echo of a smile
For a while (you are the reason)
We’re fools
To ourselfs – have to be (you are the reason)
We’re fools (it had to be)
To ourselves
Had to be

You’re my love
You’re my angel
You’re the girl of my dreams
And I’d like to thank you
For waiting patiently
Daddy’s home-Daddy’s home -To stay

How I’ve waited for this moment
To be by your side
Your best friend wrote and told me
You had tear drops in you eyes
Daddy’s home- Daddy’s Home-To stay


It wasn’t on a Sunday
(Monday and Tuesday went by)
It wasn’t on a Tuesday afternoon
(All I could do was cry)
But I made a promise
That you treasure
And I made it back to you


Repeat second verse
I’m not a thousand miles away.
