'Forever Is A Lonely Child'

[Dr Rock]

Woke up with this rocking chorus in my head. I think it's a real song, but my subscioncious has replaced the right words with some frankly ace ones. Any chance someone might be abe to locate the original? It sounds like a 60s uptempo song, sung by the likes of Tony Christie or maybe The Shadows Of Knight.

It goes
Forever is a lonely child (bum-bun-bum)
Forever is a lonely child (bum-bun-bum)
Forever is a lonely child (bum-bun-bum)
Forever is a lonely child (bum-bun-bum)

Any ideas?
