Sylvia
 (G. Stephens - L. Reed)

These long lonely evenings 
Here I am on the phone 
Wondering when 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'd 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'd 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
