I Really Loved Harold Lyrics - Merman - Emiliana Torrini

They told me when I was little, 

I'd go to heaven if I was good. 

Now I'm a long way from little, 

'Cause I tried to find heaven, 

'Cause I thought that I could. 

I thought that I could. 

And I thought I loved Harold, 

And I really loved John, 

I really loved Alphy 

I almost loved Tom. 

I loved them so easy, 

And I loved them so free. 

Now I don't think that heaven 

Will wanna love me. 

Hallo, song of the willow, 

The dreams under my pillow, 

Turned to tears that I cried. 

Beauty and love are our riddle, 

Never to answer, but always to try. 

And, boy, did I try. 

And I tried with Harold, 

And I tried with John. 

I tried with Alphy, 

And almost with Tom. 

I left myself open, 

For the whole world to see. 

Now I don't think that heaven 

Will wanna love me. 

So I said goodbye to Harold, 

And goodbye to John. 

Goodbye to Alphy, 

And goodbye to Tom. 

I loved them so easy, 

And I loved them so free. 

Now I don't think that heaven 

Will wanna love me. 

Oh say, can you see? 

By the dawn's early light 

No light will shine me
