Lover Man

(album: Swingin' Easy - 1957)

I don't know why
But I'm feeling so sad
I long to try
Something I've never had

Never had no kissing
Oh, what I've been missing
Lover man, oh, where can you be

The night is cold
And I'm so all alone
I'd give my soul
Just to call you my own

Got the moon above me
But no one to love me
Lover man, oh, where can you be

I've heard it said
That the thrill of romance
Can be like a heavenly dream
I go to bed
With the prayer that you'll make love to me
Sad as it seems

One day we'll meet
And you'll dry all my tears
And whisper sweet
Little things in my ears

A hugging and a kissing
Lord what I've been missing
Lover man, oh, where can you be
