Introd

 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 watiting for a word of love from sylvia

 You'd think she 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 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 say

 I'm waiting for a word of love from sylvia

 you'd think she 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 like my sylvia

 the only one I'm thinking of is sylvia

feeling so sad now I'd be so glad now

If I just had my sylvia with me
