Requiem For Love

Jody Reynolds with Bobbie Gentry

Record Details

Released
1966

Written by Jody Reynolds

(You know I’m gonna love you, have no fear)
Just hold me, dear
(I place no one above you ‘neath the sun)
My only one

When the chilly hand of loneliness
Reaches for your soul
Just come into my warm caress
And darling, you will know

(That I’ll always need you to be mine)
‘Til end of time
(There’s no one can please you like I do)
My love is true

(Then one day fate took my love away)
Yes, now you’re gone
(Tragedy stepped in and had its say)
How —— life was done

But when the lonely night surrounds me
And I feel so bad
I recall your arms around me
And the love we had

(I know I’m gonna miss you, that’s for sure)
But I’ll endure
(Perhaps in time I’ll even love again)
But I can’t say when
