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 allI'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 meThere'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 meThat old weeping 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 sayI'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 meWell, 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
