dont know why theres no sun up in the sky stormy weather since my man and i ain't together keeps raining all of the time oh yeah
life is bad gloom and misery everywhere stormy weather stormy weather and i just cant get my poor self together oh im weary all of the time the time so weary all of the time
when he went away the blues walked in and met me oh yeah, if he stays away, old rocking chair is gonna get me. all i do is pray the lord will let me walk in the sun once more
i cant go on, cant go on, cant go on, everything i have is gone stormy weather stormy weather since my man and i, me and my daddy aint together keeps raining all of the time all of the time keeps raining all of the time all of the time.
Fool that I am, For falling in love with you. And, fool that I am, For thinking you loved me, too. You took my heart, Then played the part of little coquette. And, my dreams just disappeared Like the smoke from a cigarette. Fool that I am, For hoping yo
Tear a star from out the sky and the sky feels blue Tear a petal from the rose and the rose weeps too Take your heart away from mine and mine will surely break My life is yours to take, so please keep the spark awake
Would you take the wings from birds so that they can't fly? Would you take the ocean's roar and leave just a sigh? All this, your heart won't let you do This is what I beg of you Don't take your love from me
All this, your heart won't let you do This is what I beg of you Don't take your love from me Don't take your love from me
Oh! Will you never let me be? Oh! Will you never set me free? The ties that bound us Are still around us There's no escape that I can see And still those little things remain That bring me happiness or pain
A cigarette that bears a lipstick's traces An airline ticket to romantic places And still my heart has wings These foolish things remind me of you A tinkling piano in the next apartment Those stumbling words that told you what my heart meant A fair ground's painted swings These foolish things remind me of you You came you saw you conquer'd me When you did that to me I knew somehow this had to be The winds of March that make my heart a dancer A telephone that rings but who's to answer? Oh, how the ghost of you clings! These foolish things remind me of you
First daffodils and long excited cables And candle lights on little corner tables And still my heart has wings These foolish things remind me of you The park at evening when the bell has sounded The "Ile de France" with all the gulls around it The beauty that is Spring's These foolish things remind me of you How strange how sweet to find you still These things are dear to me They seem to bring you near to me The sigh of midnight trains in empty stations Silk stockings thrown aside dance invitations Oh, how the ghost of you clings! These foolish things remind me of you
Gardenia perfume ling'ring on a pillow Wild strawb'ries only seven francs a kilo And still my heart has wings These foolish things remind me of you The smile of Garbo and the scent of roses The waiters whistling as the last bar closes The song that Crosby sings These foolish things remind me of you How strange how sweet to find you still These things are dear to me They seem to bring you near to me The scent of smould'ring leaves, the wail of steamers Two lovers on the street who walk like dreamers Oh, how the ghost of you clings! These foolish things remind me of you
Someone that I belong to Doesn't belong to me Someone who can't be faithful Knows that I have to be Wonder if I am wrong to give her my loyalty
Why should I be a lone soul Why can't I be my own soul Alone from night to night you'll find me Too weak to break the chains that bind me I need no shackles to remind me I'm just a prisner of love For one comand I stand and wait now
From one who's master of my Fate now I can't escape for it's too late now I'm just a prisoner of love What's the good of my caring if someone is sharing Those arms with me Although she has another I can't have another For I'm not free She's in my dreams awake or sleeping Up on my knees to her I'm creeping My very life is in her keeping I'm just a prisoner of love. Love.
