Somebody To Love
Ed & Denyze Alleyne-Johnson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When days are long and nights are lonely
And all my daydreams have gone astray
I think about the one and only
Who's bound to find me some golden day

The one I love is coming along some day
And I'll have none except the one I love
He/She may be near or ever so far away
But I'll have none except the one I love

And though our meeting is left to chance
Until our meeting
I still will have my dream romance




And through the night I pray to the moon above
To please be kind and find the one I love
