A little love and understanding

You're on your own
And what you need's
A little love and understanding, hee-hee-hee
A little warmth to tell your soul
A gentle bird that softly sings, hee-hee-hee-hee

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're in that city far away
I'm 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
Ho-ho-kay-ay (okay), good, good

You're room is like a desert isle
You often filled with silent tears, hmm-hmm-hmm
So grab your coat, put on a smile
Go out and buy yourself some cheer, hee-hee-hee-hee
Why sit there thinking of the past
Recounting empty days gone by, hah-hah-hah
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
O-kay, hm-hm, (okay), good
