These long lonely evenings

Here I am on the phone

Wondering if she will call

She said she would write me

'Cause she knows I’m alone

But I hear nothing at all



I'm waiting for a word of love from Sylvia.

You think she'd never heard of love my Sylvia,

But when I’m with her Lord, I forgive her

'Cause she's more than the whole world to me

There's nothing like a word of love from Sylvia

The only one I’m thinking of is Sylvia

Feeling so sad now, I'll be so glad now

If I just had my Sylvia with me



That old weepin' willow

Seems to whisper her name

Why did she go away

The tears on my pillow

They're not hard to explain

There's nothing else I can say



I'm waiting for a word of love from Sylvia.

You think she'd never heard of love my Sylvia,

But when I’m with her Lord, I forgive her

'Cause she's more than the whole world to me

There's nothing in the world like Sylvia

The only one I’m thinking of is Sylvia

Feeling so sad now, I'll be so glad now

If I just had my Sylvia with me
