Strawbs Lyrics

Lambert

Feeling like I do, there's not a lot of words to say
I only know I love you
Trying as I do to put it all another way
It still comes out, I love you.

I feel your loving coming on
I feel your loving coming on
And I can feel the hope in your heart
I can feel the hope in your heart
I feel your loving coming on.

If only I could use the beauty of the poet's words
Your name would last forever
Simple as I am, simple as I choose to be
I know we'll last together.

I feel your loving coming on
I feel your loving coming on
And I can feel the hope in your heart
I can feel the hope in your heart
I feel your loving coming on.

Goodnight, goodnight
I'm hoping that I find you well
We're really gonna have to try hard
Goodnight, goodnight
I'm hoping that time won't tell.

I can feel the hope in your heart
I can feel the hope in your heart
I can feel the hope in your heart




I can feel the hope in your heart
I feel your loving coming on.
