Please Send Me Someone - Percy Mayfield

Please Send Me Someone to Love
 

Written by: Percy Mayfield

Please Send Me Someone Lyrics

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.
Someone to love

Show all 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
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 don't beg for no sympathy.
But if it's not asking too much,
Please send me someone to love
