Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If I were alone in the desert
Without a drink of water around
On my knees and hands in that white, scorching sand
With the hot Sahara sun beatin' down
[Verse 2]
If I could be granted my wishes
And anything I'd want would come true
Well, I know that it might sound funny
But here's what I'd want you to do
[Verse 3]
Tell Lorrie I love her, tell Lorrie I need her
Tell her everything would be okay if I could just see her
Tell Lorrie I love her, tell Lorrie I need her
And if I leave this ol' world, tell her she's the only girl for me
[Verse 4]
If I were adrift on the ocean
A vessel with no sails or steam
Floatin' aimlessly on an endless sea
Hopelessly lost it would seem
[Verse 5]
If all of the fish in the water
Could echo my last dyin' plea
Well, I know you might not understand it
But here's what I want it to be
[Verse 6]
Tell Lorrie I love her, tell Lorrie I need her
Tell her everything would be okay if I could just see her
Tell Lorrie I love her, tell Lorrie I need her
And if I leave this ol' world, tell her she's the only girl for me
And if I leave this ol' world, tell her she's the only girl for me
