[Verse 1]
I've been a long long time—waiting for you
I didn't want to see you go—oh, no, no
And now, it's hurting so much, what can I do?
I wanted you to be my wife
The days are passing slowly since you've gone
Your memories are all I have—yes, I have
I sit here waiting, but—you'll never show
Without you, I can't carry on—oh, my baby

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 2]
You said you'd always love me—all of my life
And then you said your last goodbye—yeah, goodbye
Why the sudden changes, why all of the lies?
I should have seen it in your eyes
The endless hours of heartache—waiting for you
My summer love has turned to rain—all the pain
The silent emptiness—of one sided love
My life means nothing now you're gone—oh, my baby

[Instrumental Outro]

Black Sabbath

From their start as a heavy blues-rock band called Earth in 1968, Black Sabbath survived over four decades with a total of 19 studio albums and numerous hits, but only “Paranoid” reached the top 10 UK Singles Chart, putting together one of the greatest rock bands of all time and setting the standards for music in their genre.

Virtually every single heavy metal band has cited the early Black Sabbath albums as a major musical influence and Black Sabbath have at least played some part in laying the foundations for most of heavy metal’s sub-genres, including thrash metal (“Symptom of the Universe” and “Into the Void”), doom metal (“Black Sabbath”) and stoner metal (“Sweet Leaf”). The band also explored many rock sub-genres, including hard rock (“Paranoid”), blues rock (“N.I.B.”), psychedelic rock (“Planet Caravan”) and, of course, the traditional heavy metal, being one of the precursors of this genre.

They were ranked by MTV as the “Greatest Metal Band” of all time and placed second in VH1’s “100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock” list. Rolling Stone magazine ranked them number 85 in their “100 Greatest Artists of All Time.” They have sold over 70 million records worldwide. Black Sabbath were inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2005 and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006. They have also won two Grammy Awards for Best Metal Performance.
