Les Voyages de Sylvie

Written & Composed: Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier and Eddie Holland

Love is here
And oh my darling, now you're gone
Love is here
And oh my darling, now you're gone
You persuaded me to love you
And I did
But instead of tendeness
I found heartache instead
Into your arms I fell
So unaware of the lonelyness
Thar was waiting there
Spoken :
You closed the door to your heart, girl
And you turned the key
Locked your love away from me

Love is here
And oh my darling, now you're gone
You made me love you
And oh my darling, now you're gone
You said loving you
Would make life beautiful
With each passing day
But as soon as love came
Into my heart
You turned and you walked
Just walked away

Spoken :
You stripped me of my dreams
You gave me faith, then you took my hope
Look at me now

Look at me
See what loving has done to me
Look at my face
See how cryin' has left its trace
After you made me all your own
Then you left me all alone
You made your words sound so sweet
Knowing that your love I couldn't keep

Spoken :
My heart cries out for your tuch
But baby, you're not there
And the lonely cry fades in the air

Love is here
And oh my darling, now you're gone
Love is here
And oh my darling, now you're gone
You made me love you
Oh oh my darling, now you're gone
Talking 'bout love, love, love, love,
Ooh ooh my darling, now you're gone

When you're down and troubled
and you need some lovin' care
and nothin', nothin' is going right.
Just close your eyes and think of me
and soon I'll be there
to brighten up even your darkest night.

You just call out my name,
and you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall,
all you have to do is call
and I'll be there...
You've got a friend.

If the sky above you
grows dark and full of clouds,
and that old north wind begins to blow.
Keep your head together and call my name out loud
Soon you'll hear me knocking at your door.

You just call out my name
and you know wherever I am
I'll come running, running, yeah,
to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer or fall
all you have to do is call
and I'll be there, yes I will.

Now, ain't it good to know that you've got a friend,
when people can be so cold.
They'll hurt you, yes, and desert you,
and take your soul if you let them.
Oh, but don't you let them.

You just call out my name
and you know wherever I am
I'll come running, running, yeah,
to see you again.
Winter spring summer or fall,
all you've got to do is call,
and I'll be there, yes I will...
You've got a friend.
You've got a friend.
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend.
Ain't it good to know...
Ain't it good to know...
Ain't it good to know...
You've got a friend.
Oh, yeah, you've got a friend.
Yeah, Baby, you've got a friend.
Oh, yeah, you've got a friend.

Ben, the two of us, we live no more
We both found what we were looking for
With a friend to call my own
I'll never be alone
And you, my friend, will see
You've got a friend in me
(you've got a friend in me)

Ben, you're always running here and there
You feel you're not wanted anywhere
If you ever look behind
And don't like what you find
There's one thing you should know
You've got a place to go
(you've got a place to go)

I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"
I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"
Ben, most people would turn you away
I don't listen to a word they say
They don't see you as I do
I wish they would try to
I'm sure they'd think again
If they had a friend like Ben
(a friend) Like Ben
(like Ben) Like Ben

Love is like a circus and a carnival is beautiful to see
Love can turn your mind around like ferris wheels and spinning carosels

You’ll be a part of the world of make believe
Flying high like a man on a trapeze

Oh, everyday is a holiday
Get your tickets right away
Love, love, love
Is the greatest show on earth

The fantasy you see is like a child again through rainbow colored eyes
Step right up it’s circus time and get your moneys worth of love today

You’ll be a part of the world of make believe
Flying high like a man on a trapeze

Everyday is a holiday
Get your tickets right away
Love, love, yea
Is the greatest show on earth

Everyday is a holiday
Get your tickets right away
Love, love, love
Is the greatest show on earth

Love, love, love
Is the greatest show on earth (yea e yea)
Love, love, yea
Is the greatest show on earth
Love, love, yea

People...
(’round and ’round and around...)
People make the world go ’round
(’round and ’round and around...)

Teachers on strike, no more school today
They want more money but the board won’t pay
People
Everybody’s talkin’ ’bout ecology
The air’s so polluted that it’s hard to breathe
People

Rrefrain
But that’s what makes the world go round
The ups and downs a carousel
Changing people’s heads around
Go underground young men...
People make the world go round...

Old folks judge you by the clothes you wear
They’d swear you’re a hippy if you have long hair
Young politicians fight for poverty
While people still cry for equality

Refrain
But that’s what makes the world go round
The ups and downs a carousel
Changing people’s heads around
Go underground young men...
People make the world go round...

(instrumental)

Refrain
But that’s what makes the world go round
The ups and downs a carousel
Changing people’s heads around
Go underground young men...
People make the world go round...
