Lonely, my life used to be lonely
Lonely as the single lonely number one
Lonely like a lonely sun
With not even one iota to shine upon
Crying, deep inside I was crying
Like the muddy Mississippi, my tears flowed
Carrying with it my lonely soul
With not even a clue of who,
where or what I would become
Oh, how I longed to be possessed by one somebody
To hold me, control me, show me what I should
do with my broken life
But oh, was I lifted when I let your light
inside my body
Then I shed my sorrows for joy, love and
you in my, my, my, my li-li-life
I'm dancing to the rythm of your love
Singing sweet melodies of your sweet, sweet love
Forever greateful for your love
Money, oh how did I have money
Enough to last me from the start til the end of time
With some more to leave behind
And yet I was a cent-less pauper in distress
I can, feel the very presence of your love here
Though I've never seen the pleasure of your smile
No, I've never touched your hand
And yet you've given me eternal happiness
Oh, how I longed to be possessed by one somebody
To hold me, control me, show me what I should
do with my broken life
But oh, was I lifted when I let your light
inside my body
Then I shed my sorrows for joy, love and you in my,
my, my, my li-li-life
I'm dancing to the rythm of your love
Singing sweet melodies of your sweet, sweet love
Forever greateful for your sweet, sweet love
[Repeat]
Oh, how I longed to be possessed by one somebody
To hold me, control me, show me what I should do
with my broken life
But oh, was I lifted when I let God's light
inside my body
Then I shed my sorrows for joy, love and you
in my, my, my, my li-li-life
I'm dancing to the rythm of your love
Singing sweet melodies of your sweet, sweet love
Giving all praises of your sweet, sweet love
Forever greateful for your sweet, sweet love
[Repeat]
