Lyrics
Life’s dreary for me
Days seem to be long as years
I look for the sun, but I see none through my tears
Your heart must be like a stone
To leave me here all alone
When you could make my life word living
By simply taking what I’m set on giving
Refrain
My heart is sad and lonely
For you I sigh, for you, dear, only
Why haven’t you seen it?
I’m all for you, body and soul
I spend my days in longing
And wondering why it’s me you’re wronging
I tell you I mean it
I’m all for you, body and soul
I can’t believe it
It’s hard to conceive it
That you’d turn away romance
Are you pretending, it looks like the ending
Unless I could have one more chance to prove, dear
My life a wreck you’re making
You know I’m yours for just the taking
I’d gladly surrender myself to you
Body and soul
