I used to be so lonely, I used to be so blue
There was a time I thought I'd never see love shining through
I could not find a spark of hope, there was darkness in the air
Then I found someone, now the clouds are gone, and I see love everywhere
And I said, oh me (oh me), oh my (oh my), mercy, mercy
Now love is everywhere
I said, ooh-wee (ooh-wee), then I sighed (I sighed)
Land of Goshen, oh, love is everywhere
♪
There was a woman that I heard of, they say every night she cried
About a love that long ago had withered up and died
Then one night she was observed by the full light of the moon
With a swing of the hips and a song on her lips and a man up in her room
And I said, oh me (oh me), oh my (oh my), mercy, mercy
Now love is everywhere
I said, ooh-wee (ooh-wee), then I sighed (I sighed)
Land of Goshen, oh, love is everywhere
♪
There was a man who lived next to me and I swear that his heart was hard
There was no sunshine on his back porch, no flowers in his yard
He claimed that he'd looked high and low, but love could not be found
But it didn't take too much, just a woman's touch to turn his world around
He said, oh me (oh me), oh my (oh my), mercy, mercy
Now love is everywhere
He said, ooh-wee (ooh-wee), then he sighed (he sighed)
Land of Goshen, hey, love is everywhere
I said, oh me (oh me), oh my (oh my), mercy, mercy
Now love is everywhere
And I said, ooh-wee (ooh-wee), then I sighed (I sighed)
Land of Goshen, love is everywhere
And I said, oh me (oh me), oh my (oh my), mercy, mercy
Now love is everywhere
And I said, ooh-wee (ooh-wee), then I sighed (I sighed)
Land of Goshen and love is everywhere
