Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Direct
Directly from my heart to you
Direct
Directly from my heart to you
Oh, you know that I love you
That's why I feel so blue
[Verse 2]
Oh, I pray
Our love would last always
I pray
That our love would last always
Yeah, we'd be so happy together
But you're so far away
[Verse 3]
Well, I need
I need you by my side
Well, I need
Yes, I need you by my side
Oh, I'd love you, little darling
Your love I could never hide
