These long lonely evenings
Here I am on the phone
Wondering if she will call
She said she would write me
`Cause she knows I`m alone
But I hear nothing at all

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
`Cause 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

That old weepin` 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

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
`Cause she`s more than the whole world to me
There`s nothing in the world like 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
