written by Karla Bonoff   © 1976 Sky Harbor Music (BMI)      There's somebody waiting alone in the street   For someone to walk up and greet   Here you are all alone in the city   Where's the love that you took to your side   Lonely faces will stare through your eyes in the night      And they'll say    Woman sweet woman   Please come home with me   You're shining and willing and free   But your love is a common occurrence   Not like love that I feel in my heart   Still you know that may be what I need      Is someone to lay down beside me   And even though it's not real   Just someone to lay down beside me   You're the story of my life      Someone to lay down beside me   And even though it's not real   Just someone to lay down beside me   You're the story of my life      The morning is breaking   The street lights are off   The sun will soon share all the cost   Of a world that can be sort of heartless   Not like love that I feel in my heart   Still you know that may be all you'll get      Is someone to lay down beside you   And even though it's not real   Just someone to lay down beside you   You just can't ask for more
