lyrics

Will the postman bring me a letter
when my heart won’t pitter patter?
And will the telephone ever ring
without a burning in my brain, oh?

(Refrain)
When will you ever give up?
When will you ever give up?
When will you ever give up?

Will I ever rest in my bed
when I won’t touch your soft face?
And will a love song ever play
when I won’t hear your deep voice, oh?

(Refrain)

Will a golden moon rise
when I won’t see the glow in your eyes?
And will my lips meet against another’s
when I won’t swallow your name, oh?

(Refrain)

Now I reveal to you one last secret my darling
you are prisoner of my song
Fly now into the darkened sky
and show me starlight at dawn, no.

I shall never give up
I shall never give up
I shall never give up.
