Answer Me
Tony Evans And His Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Answer me, Lord above:
Just what sin have I been guilty of?
Tell me how I came to lose my love
Please answer me, oh, Lord
She was mine yesterday
An' I believed that love was here to stay
Won't you tell me where I've gone astray:
Please answer me, oh, Lord
If she's happier without me
Don't tell her I care
But if she still thinks about me
Please let her hear my prayer
Let her know I've been true
Send her back so we can start anew
In my sorrow, may I turn to you?
Please answer me, oh, Lord
If she's happier without me
Don't tell her I care
But if she still thinks about me
Please let her hear my prayer
Let her know I've been true
Send her back so we can start anew




In my sorrow, may I turn to you?
Please answer me, oh, Lord
