I used to be so lonely - I used to be so blue
There was a time I thought I'd never see love shinin' through
I could not find a spark of hope - there was darkness in the air
Then I found someone now the clouds are gone and I see love everywhere

And I said,"Oh me - oh my - mercy mercy - love is everywhere"
Yeah, I said, "ooh wee" then I sighed, -- "Land o'goshen
Love is everywhere"

There was a woman that I heard of - they say every night she cried
About a love that long ago had withered up and died
And then one night she was observed by the full light of the moon
With a swing in her hips and a song on her lips and a man
Up in her room

And she said, "Oh me, oh my - mercy mercy - love is everywhere"
Yeah she said, "Ooh, wee" then she sighed, -- "land o'goshen
Love is everywhere"

There was a man that lived next to me and I swear that his heart was hard
There wasn't no sunshine on his back porch and no flowers in his yard
He claimed that he'd looked high and low but love could not be found
But it didn't take much - just a woman's touch to turn his world around

And he said, "oh me - oh my - mercy mercy - love is everywhere"
Yeah he said, "Ooh wee" then he signed, -- "land o'goshen
Love is everywhere"
