I REALLY LOVE HAROLD

From the album BORN TO BE (1968)

They told me when I was little

I'd go to heaven if I was good

Now I'm a long way from little

'Cause I tried to find heaven

'Cause I thought that I could

I thought that I could

And I thought I loved Harold

And I really loved John

I really loved Alfie

And I almost loved Tom

I loved them so easy

And I loved them so free

So I don't think that heaven

Will wanna love me

Hello song of the willow

The dreams under my pillow

Turned to tears that I cried

Beauty and love are a riddle

Never to answer but always to try

And boy did I try

I tried with Harold

And I tried with John

I tried with Alfie

And almost with Tom

I left myself open

For the whole world to see

Now the world is the heaven

That won't accept me

I said goodbye to Harold

And goodbye to John

Goodbye to Alfie

And goodbye to Tom

'Cause I loved them so easy

And I loved them so free

So I don't think that heaven

Will wanna love me

Oh say can you see

By the dawn's early light?

No light will shine me
