My heart was so heavy with longing for you
My arms were so lonely, lonesome and blue
Alone in my sorrow I heard a voice cry,
A voice in the wilderness
A voice from the sky.

Have faith in your darling
The voice seemed to say
Be true to her memory
She'll come back one day.
And though there was no one
Nobody to see,
The voice in the wilderness brought comfort to me

We had a quarrel,
I was unkind
Why did you leave me
Love made me blind

My darling forgive me
I am for your touch
Have pity come back now
I need you so much

Believe me and you'll hear it
That voice from above
The voice in the wilderness
The voice of true love

Believe me and you'll hear it
That voice from above
The voice in the wilderness
The voice of true love
