Body and Soul [Live] Lyrics
My days have grown so lonely
For you I cry, for you dear only
Why haven't you seen it
I'm all for you body and soul
I spend my days in longin'
I'm wondering why it's me you're wronging
I tell you I mean it
I'm all for you body and soul
I can't believe it
It's hard to conceive it
That you'd throw away romance
Are you pretending
It looks like the ending
Unless I can have one more chance to prove, dear
My life a hell you're making
You know I'm yours for just the taking
I'd gladly surrender
Myself to you body and soul
What lies before me
A future that's stormy
A winter that's gray and cold
Unless there's magic the end will be tragic
And echo a tale that's been told so often
My life revolves about you
What earthly good am I without you
Oh I tell you I mean it
I'm all for you body and soul
For you I cry, for you dear only
Why haven't you seen it
I'm all for you body and soul
I'm wondering why it's me you're wronging
I tell you I mean it
I'm all for you body and soul
It's hard to conceive it
That you'd throw away romance
Are you pretending
It looks like the ending
Unless I can have one more chance to prove, dear
You know I'm yours for just the taking
I'd gladly surrender
Myself to you body and soul
A future that's stormy
A winter that's gray and cold
Unless there's magic the end will be tragic
And echo a tale that's been told so often
What earthly good am I without you
Oh I tell you I mean it
I'm all for you body and soul
