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 the her memory

She'll come back one day.

And though there was no one

Nobody to see,

The 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 am 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

The voice in the wilderness

The voice of true love
