A Voice in the Wilderness

My heart was so heavy with longing for you

My arms were so lonely lonesome and blue

Alone in my sorrow I heard a voice cry

A voice in the wilderness a voice from the sky

Have faith in your darling the voice seemed to say

Be true to her memory she'll come back one day

And though there was no-one nobody to see

A voice in the wilderness brought comfort to me

We had a quarrel I was unkind

Why did you leave me love made me blind

Back to me darling I yearn for your touch

Have pity come back now I need you so much

Believe me and you'll hear it that voice from above

The voice in the wilderness the voice of true love

Believe me and you'll hear it that voice from above

A voice in the wilderness the voice of true love
