Melanie - I Really Loved Harold lyrics

rate me

They told me when I was little<br />

I'd go to heaven, if I was good.<br />

Now I'm a long way from little<br />

'Cause I tried to find heaven, 'cause I thought that I could<br />

I thought that I could.<br />

And I thought I loved Harold and I really loved John,<br />

I really loved Alphy and I almost loved Tom.<br />

I loved them so easy and I loved them so free,<br />

So I don't think that heaven will wanna love me.<br />

<br />

Hallo, song of the willow,<br />

The dreams under my pillow turned to tears that I cried.<br />

Beauty and love are our riddle,<br />

Never to answer but always to try,<br />

And boy, did I try?<br />

I tried with Harold and I tried with John,<br />

I tried with Alphy and almost with Tom.<br />

I left myself open for the whole world to see,<br />

Now the world is the heaven that won't accept me.<br />

<br />

I said goodbye to Harold and goodbye to John,<br />

Goodbye to Alphy and goodbye to Tom<br />

'Cause I loved them so easy and I loved them so free,<br />

So I don't think that heaven will wanna love me.<br />

Oh say, can you see, by the dawn's early light<br />

No light will shine me?
