Count Basie
Please Send Me Someone to Love
[Verse 1]
Heaven is speaking to all mankind
For understanding and peace of mind
But if it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love
Someone to love

[Verse 2]
Show the world how to get along
Peace will enter when hate is gone
But if it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love
Please send me someone to love

[Bridge]
I lay awake at night and count the world's troubles
And my answer is always the same
That unless man puts an end to this damnable sin
Hate will put the world to flame, what a shame

[Verse 3]
Just because I'm in misery
I don't beg for no sympathy
But if it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love
Please send me someone to love
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Just because I'm in misery
I don't beg for no sympathy
But if it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love
Please send me someone to love
