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.
