Originally recorded by Ruby and the Romantics as 'Hey There Lonely Boy';
a much bigger hit in this regendered version by Eddie Holman.  Not sure
where this was recorded, but the stuttering bass line and minimalist
string arrangement point toward Philadelphia.

	                         C#m7
	Ever since he broke your heart
	                  D6

	Oh, how I long to take your hand

	                E7
	I'll kiss your tears away"

[repeat chorus]

Verse 2 (first three lines sung by background singers):

	(You think that only his two lips
	 Can kiss your lips
	 And make your heart stand still)
	But once you're in my arms you'll see
	No one can kiss

	Your lips  the way I will, the way I will
