(Words & music by G. Stephens - L. Reed)
  These long lonely evenings
  Here I am on the phone
  Wondering if she will call
  She said she would write me
  'Cause she knows I'm alone
  But I hear nothing at all
    I'm waiting for a word of love from Sylvia.
  You think she'd never heard of love my Sylvia,
  But when I'm with her Lord, I forgive her
  'Cause she's more than the whole world to me
  There's nothing like a word of love from Sylvia
  The only one I'm thinking of is Sylvia
  Feeling so sad now, I'll be so glad now
  If I just had my Sylvia with me
    That old weepin' willow
  Seems to whisper her name
  Why did she go away
  The tears on my pillow
  They're not hard to explain
  There's nothing else I can say
    I'm waiting for a word of love from Sylvia.
  You think she'd never heard of love my Sylvia,
  But when I'm with her Lord, I forgive her
  'Cause she's more than the whole world to me
  There's nothing in the world like Sylvia
  The only one I'm thinking of is Sylvia
  Feeling so sad now, I'll be so glad now
  If I just had my Sylvia with me
