Lyrics for Please Send Me Someone To Love

Heaven is speaking To all mankind For understanding And peace of mind But if it's not asking too much Please send me someone to love Someone to love Show the world how to get along Peace will enter when hate is gone But if it's not asking too much Please send me someone to love Please send me someone to love I lay awake at night And count the world's trouble And my answer is always the same That unless man puts an end To this damnable sin Hate will put the world to flame What a shame Just because I'm in misery I don't beg for no sympathy But if it's not asking too much Please send me someone to love Please send me someone to love Just because I'm in misery I don't beg for no sympathy But if it's not asking too much Please send me someone to love Please send me someone to love
