| I used to be so lonely — I used to be so blue
|
| There was a time I thought I’d never see love shinin' through
|
| I could not find a spark of hope — there was darkness in the air
|
| Then I found someone now the clouds are gone and I see love everywhere
|
| And I said,"Oh me — oh my — mercy mercy — love is everywhere"
|
| Yeah, I said, «ooh wee» then I sighed, -- «Land o’goshen
|
| Love is everywhere»
|
| There was a woman that I heard of — they say every night she cried
|
| About a love that long ago had withered up and died
|
| And then one night she was observed by the full light of the moon
|
| With a swing in her hips and a song on her lips and a man
|
| Up in her room
|
| And she said, «Oh me, oh my — mercy mercy — love is everywhere»
|
| Yeah she said, «Ooh, wee» then she sighed, -- «land o’goshen
|
| Love is everywhere»
|
| There was a man that lived next to me and I swear that his heart was hard
|
| There wasn’t no sunshine on his back porch and no flowers in his yard
|
| He claimed that he’d looked high and low but love could not be found
|
| But it didn’t take much — just a woman’s touch to turn his world around
|
| And he said, «oh me — oh my — mercy mercy — love is everywhere»
|
| Yeah he said, «Ooh wee» then he signed, -- «land o’goshen
|
| Love is everywhere» |
