Lyrics

[Verse 1] Lady, I’m in love with you Seven times, I’ve seen you In a million dreams, you’re here with me Close my eyes, and I still see you

[Pre-Chorus] Lying here next to me A vision to behold Quietly, you lay by me A sight to see

[Chorus] Listen, can you hear my heart? Can you hear me calling out your name? Oh-oh, oh-oh She’s gone, out of my life Oh-oh, oh-oh She’s gone, I find it so hard to go on

[Verse 2] I really miss that girl, my love Come back, into my arms I’m so alone, I’m begging you I’m down on my knees, forgive me, girl

[Pre-Chorus] Lady, would you dream of me? As I dream of you Lady, would you cry for me? As I cry for you

[Chorus] Listen, can you hear my heart? Can you hear me calling out your name? Oh-oh, oh-oh She’s gone, out of my life Oh-oh, oh-oh She’s gone, I find it so hard to go on

[Chorus] Listen, can you hear my heart? Can you hear me calling out your name? Oh-oh, oh-oh She’s gone, out of my life Oh-oh, oh-oh She’s gone, I find it so hard to go on
