Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
Did you ever feel a glow
Just to find you didn’t know
What the glow is
Did you ever want to cry
Just to find your tears were dry
And you’ve reached the point
Where high and low is?
Whether you have or whether you haven’t
All I know is
Refrain:
I want my share of love
‘Cause I’m aware of love
It’s all around me
It’s time that it found me
I want my share of love
I tell my heart, “Someday
A love will come your way!”
Still it keeps crying
It knows that I’m lying
I want my share of love
Why does the night help me invent
Dreams that are worthless and only for rent
Rented or not, they help a lot
When you’re in love without love
This is my prayer of love
My soul is bare of love
Too long I’ve waited
I almost could hate it,
I want my share of love
Sung by Laurence Rubenstein:
