Body And Soul
I'm lost in the dark
Where is the spark for 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 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 revolved about him
What earthly good am I without him?
My castles have crumbled
But I 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 revolved about him
What earthly good am I without him?
My castles have crumbled
But I am his, body and soul
