(Drummond)

If heaven could find me somebody
Someone to hold me when I sleep
If heaven could find me somebody
Someone to show me what I need

I need someone to love me
I need someone to care
Watching each day pass so slowly
Gets to me more than I can bear

I've been waiting here for so long
You're not even near
Yeah, yeah...

You shattered my illusions
When you left me
Had me down crawling on my knees
Hoping each day you'd come and find me;
Hoping you'd see my misery

I need someone to love me
I need someone to care
Watching each day pass so slowly
Gettin' me more than I can bear

I've been waiting here for so long
You're not even near
You're not even near

If heaven could find me somebody
Someone to hold me when I sleep
If heaven could find me somebody
Someone to show me what I need

I need someone to love me
I need someone to care
Watching each day pass so slowly
Gets to me more than I can bear

I've been waiting here for so long
And you're not even near
You're not even near
You're not even near

Ambrosia is a soft rock band from Los Angeles discovered in 1971 by Los Angeles Philharmonic conductor Zubin Mehta, who featured the group as part of an All-American Dream Concert (Pops concert). It took them another four years to get signed to a record contract.

Between 1975 and 1982, Ambrosia racked up five Grammy nominations, toured with Fleetwood Mac, Heart, and The Doobie Brothers, and scored five US top 40 hits including two top fives: “Biggest Part Of Me” and “How Much I Feel”.

The group split in 1982, but reunited in 1989 and has continued touring and releasing compilations of their old hits. In 2015, the group released a new single, “Hopes and Dreams”, which was featured in the Fox series The Sparrows.
