Lyrics

( melanie safka )

They told me when I was little
I'd go to heaven if I was good
Now I'm a long way from little
'Cause I tried to find heaven
'Cause I thought that I could
I thought that I could

And I thought I loved harold
And I really loved john
I really loved alphy
I almost loved tom
I loved them so easy
And I loved them so free
Now I don't think that heaven
Will wanna love me

Hallo, song of the willow
The dreams under my pillow
Turned to tears that I cried
Beauty and love are our riddle
Never to answer, but always to try
And, boy, did I try

And I tried with harold
And I tried with john
I tried with alphy
And almost with tom
I left myself open
For the whole world to see
Now I don't think that heaven
Will wanna love me

So I said goodbye to harold
And goodbye to john
Goodbye to alphy
And goodbye to tom
I loved them so easy
And I loved them so free
Now I don't think that heaven
Will wanna love me

Oh say, can you see?
By the dawn's early light
No light will shine me
