Please Send Me Someone to Love - Count Basie, Joe Williams

Heaven please send to all mankind

Understanding and peace of mind

But, if it’s not asking too much

Please send me someone to love

Show the world how to get along

Peace will enter when hate is gone

But, if it’s not asking too much

Please send me someone to love

I lay awake night and ponder world troubles

My answer is always the same

That unless men put an end to all of this

Hate will put the world in a flame, oh what a shame

Just because I’m in misery

I’m not begging for no sympathy

But if it’s not asking too much

Just send me someone to love

Someone to love

Heaven please send to all mankind

Understanding and peace of mind

But, if it’s not asking too much

Please send me someone to love
