Lyrics How Many Days of Sadness - Dionne Warwick, Burt Bacharach

How Many Days of Sadness

How many days of sadness must I
Spend to get one day of gladness
And tell me how much sorrow must I
Spend to get one bright tomorrow
You must have good times just giving me bad times
Must you always be so cruel?
You used to be so wonderful to me
Why did you change my happiness to misery and heartbreak
How many days of sadness must I spend
To get one day of gladness
How long, how long must I be lonely
Tell me when will your heart want me only
When will you take me, just take me and hold me
Oh yeah, hold me and with each breath that you take
Love me, tell me you are mine, want me till the end of time
Love me, tell me you are mine, want me till the end of time
Oh please love me, how many days are lonely days
(Tell me, tell me) The way you give me happiness
(How many days of) Take away this misery
(Tell me, tell me) When will you give your love to me
