The Original Broadway Cast of South Pacific — The Loneliness of Evening

[NELLIE] Mmm, mmm, mmm I wake in the loneliness of sunrise When the deep purple heaven turns blue And start to pray As I pray each day That I’ll hear some word from you I lie in the loneliness of evening Looking out on a silver-flaked sea And ask the moon Oh how soon, how soon Will my love come home to me Will my love come home to me *Instrumental* I lie in the loneliness of evening Looking out on a silver-flaked sea And ask the moon Oh how soon, how soon Will my love come home to me Will my love come home to me
