Love Locked Out

---

(Ray Noble / Max Kester)

Al Bowlly acc. by orchestra directed by Carroll Gibbons

Love locked out in all the cold and rain
Love locked out may never come again
Love locked out and weeping bitter tears
No-one ever hears him calling

No-one needs the precious gift he brings
No-one heeds the song of love he sings
On the door he beats his tiny wings
Just love locked out

A world without love is a world without life
A sad world full of gloom
So see there's a place for love in your heart
He doesn't need much room

Love is well worth the waiting for
When he comes knocking at your door
Fling it wide, for love locked out
Will come no more, no more

The precious gift of love should not be lightly offered
Nor lightly taken
The tragedy begins when faith in love is shaken
For subtle (uttered?) by an angry word
Love like a little timid bird will fly away
And you are left, forsaken

A world without love is a world without life
A sad world full of gloom
So see there's a place for love in your heart
He doesn't need much room

Love is well worth the waiting for
When he comes knocking at your door
Fling it wide, for love locked out
Will come no more, no more
