Verse:

Somewhere there's another heart to warm a heart that's cold,  Someone's hand is waiting for a lonely hand to hold.
Ev'ry dreamer has a dream that one day may come true.  Ev'ry one has found it so and some day so will you.

 

Chorus:

Everybody loves somebody sometime,  Everybody falls in love somehow.
Something in your kiss just told me,  My sometime is now.
Everybody finds somebody someplace,  There's no telling where love may appear.
Something in my heart keeps saying,  My someplace is here.
If I had it in my power,  I'd arrange for every girl to have your charms.
Then every minute, every hour,  Every boy would find what I found in your arms.
Everybody loves somebody sometime,  And although my dreams were overdue.
Your love made it all worth waiting,  For someone like you.
