Body And Soul

Body And Soul
music by Johnny Green (left)
lyric by Edward Heyman, Robert Sour, Frank Eyton

I'm lost in the dark, where is the spark of my love?
I'm lost in the night holding the light of my love.
The heavens opened and closed as well I might have supposed
And I am left in disabandon so far removed from all that I had planned on...

My heart is sad and lonely, for you I sigh for you dear only,
Why haven't you seen it?
I'm all for you body and soul.

I spend my days in longing and wondering why it's me you're wronging?
I tell you I mean it;
I'm all for you body and soul.

I can't believe it, it's hard to conceive it that you'd turn away romance.
Are you pretending it looks like the ending unless I could have one more chance to prove dear...

My life a wreck you're making, you know I'm yours for just the taking.
I'd gladly surrender myself to you body and soul.

You're making me blue; all that you do seems so unfair.
You try not to hear; turn a deaf ear to my prayer.
It seems you don't want to see what you are doing to me.
My arms are waiting to caress you and to my heart they long to press you, sweetheart...

My days have grown so lonely for I have lost my one and only.
My pride has been humbled but I am his body and soul.
I was a mere sensation; my house of cards had no foundation;
Although it has tumbled I still am his body and soul.

What lies before me? The future is stormy, a winter that's gray and old;
Unless there's magic the end will be tragic and echo the tale that's been told so often...

My life revolves about him, what earthly good am I without him?
My castles have crumbled but I am his body and soul.

Life's dreary for me; days seem to be long as years.
I look for the sun but I see none through my tears.
Your heart must be made of stone to leave me here all alone
When you could make my life worth living by simply taking what I'm giving...

My heart is sad and lonely; for you I sigh, for you dear only.
Why haven't you seen it? I'm all for you body and soul.
I spend my days in longing and wondering why it's me you're wronging?
I tell you I mean it, I'm all for you body and soul.

I can't believe it, it's hard to cenceive it that you'd turn away romance.
Are you pretending it looks like the ending unless I could have one more chance to prove dear...

My life a wreck you're making; you know I'm yours for just the taking.
I'd gladly surrender myself to you body and soul...
