Lonely, my life used to be lonely

Lonely as the single lonely number one

Lonely like a lonely sun

With not even one iota to shine upon



Crying, deep inside I was crying

Like the muddy Mississippi, my tears flowed

Carrying with it my lonely soul

With not even a clue of who,

where or what I would become



Oh, how I longed to be possessed by one somebody

To hold me, control me, show me what I should

do with my broken life

But oh, was I lifted when I let your light

inside my body

Then I shed my sorrows for joy, love and

you in my, my, my, my li-li-life



I'm dancing to the rythm of your love

Singing sweet melodies of your sweet, sweet love

Forever greateful for your love



Money, oh how did I have money

Enough to last me from the start til the end of time

With some more to leave behind

And yet I was a cent-less pauper in distress

I can, feel the very presence of your love here

Though I've never seen the pleasure of your smile

No, I've never touched your hand

And yet you've given me eternal happiness



Oh, how I longed to be possessed by one somebody

To hold me, control me, show me what I should

do with my broken life

But oh, was I lifted when I let your light

inside my body

Then I shed my sorrows for joy, love and you in my,

my, my, my li-li-life



I'm dancing to the rythm of your love

Singing sweet melodies of your sweet, sweet love

Forever greateful for your sweet, sweet love

[Repeat]

Oh, how I longed to be possessed by one somebody

To hold me, control me, show me what I should do

with my broken life



But oh, was I lifted when I let God's light

inside my body

Then I shed my sorrows for joy, love and you

in my, my, my, my li-li-life



I'm dancing to the rythm of your love

Singing sweet melodies of your sweet, sweet love

Giving all praises of your sweet, sweet love

Forever greateful for your sweet, sweet love

[Repeat]
