You're on your own and what you need's
A little love and understanding, mmm-mmm-mmm
A little warmth to tell your soul
A gentle bird that softly sings, hey, hey, hey, hey
Each night my voice happens to sneak
Through your transistor radio, ho, ho, ho
I'm just a secret you can keep
And no-one ever needs to know
You in that city far away
You on the ship way out at sea
You got some problems you can't face
So leave them behind, any place
For out of sight is out of mind
And in time, and in time, and in time, and in time, and in time
You'll find peace of mind
Okay (Okay), good, good
Your room is like a desert isle
You've often filled with silent tears, mmm-mmm-mmm
So grab your coat, put on a smile
Go out and buy yourself some cheer, hey, hey, hey, hey
Why sit there thinking of the past
Recounting empty days gone by, ha, ha, ha
When you should make each moment last
It isn't hard to do, just try!
Drink to the city far away
To all the sailors way at sea
All those problems you can't face
So leave them behind, any place
For out of sight is out of mind
And in time, and in time, and in time, and in time, and in time
You'll find peace of mind
Okay, mmm-mmm, (Okay), good
A little love and understanding, mmm-mmm-mmm
A little warmth to tell your soul
A gentle bird that softly sings, hey, hey, hey, hey
Each night my voice happens to sneak
Through your transistor radio, ho, ho, ho
