SOMEONE TO LOVE

SOMEONE TO LOVE ME 
SHE WHISPERS IN THE NIGHT, 
AS THE TEARS STAINS HER CHEEKS. 

LAYING IN HER BED OF DESPAIR 
HOLDING HER PILLOW TIGHT,
SHE WONDERED, 
HAS LOVE FORSAKEN ME.

WITH HER EYES CLOSED 
SHE MURMURS A PRAYER,
O LORD, REMEMBER ME,
SEND ME SOMEONE TO LOVE 
BEFORE I DIE, 
IN THIS STATE OF AGONY.

IN A DEEP SLEEP SHE DRIFTS 
AS A DREAM CARESSES HER MIND,
WITH ANGELS LAYING AT HER FEET,
AND THE VOICE OF GOD SOFTLY DECLARES
I LOVE YOU FOR ALL ETERNITY.
