[Verse 1]
These long lonely evenings
Here I am on the phone
Wondering if she will call
She said she would write me
Because she knows I'm alone
But I hear nothing at all

[Chorus]
I'm waiting for a word of love from Sylvia
You think she'd never heard of love my Sylvia
But when I'm with her Lord, I forgive her
Because she's more than the whole world to me
There's nothing like a word of love from Sylvia
The only one I'm thinking of is Sylvia
Feeling so sad now, I'll be so glad now
If I just had my Sylvia with me

[Verse 2]
That old weeping willow
Seems to whisper her name
Why did she go away
The tears on my pillow
They're not hard to explain
There's nothing else I can say
[Chorus]
