Gladys Knight

Take the ribbon from my hair
Shake it loose and let it fall
Layin′ soft against your skin
Like the shadow on the wall

Come and lay down by ma side
Till the early mornin′ light
All I′m takin′ is your time
Help me make it through the night

I don′t care what′s right or wrong
′n′ I won′t try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
Lord, tonight I need a friend

Yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow′s out of sight
And it′s sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night



And it′s sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night

I don′t want to be alone
Help me make it through the night

Through these misty eyes I see lonely skies
Lonely road to Babylon
Where's my family
And my country
heaven knows where I belong

Pack my bags tonight
Here's one Jacobite
Who must leave or surely die
Put me on a train
In the pouring rain say farewell
but don't say goodbye

Seagull carry me, over land and sea
To my own folk, that's where I want to be
Every beat of my heart
Tears me further apart
I'm lost and alone in the dark
I'm going home

One more glass of wine
Just for auld lang syne
And the girl I left behind
How I miss her now In my darkest hour
And the way our arms entwine

Seagull carry me, over land and sea
To my own folk, that's where I want to be
Every beat of my heart
Tears me further apart
I'm lost and alone in the dark
I'm going home

And we'll drink a toast
To the blood red rose
Cheer a while the
Emerald Isle
And to the northern lights
And the swirling pipes
How they make a grown man cry

Seagull carry me, over land and sea
To my own folk, that's where I want to be
Every beat of my heart
Tears me further apart
I'm lost and alone in the dark
I'm going home

Through these misty eyes I see lonely skies
Lonely road to Babylon
Where's my family
And my country
heaven knows where I belong

Pack my bags tonight
Here's one Jacobite
Who must leave or surely die
Put me on a train
In the pouring rain say farewell
but don't say goodbye

Seagull carry me, over land and sea
To my own folk, that's where I want to be
Every beat of my heart
Tears me further apart
I'm lost and alone in the dark
I'm going home

One more glass of wine
Just for auld lang syne
And the girl I left behind
How I miss her now In my darkest hour
And the way our arms entwine

Seagull carry me, over land and sea
To my own folk, that's where I want to be
Every beat of my heart
Tears me further apart
I'm lost and alone in the dark
I'm going home

And we'll drink a toast
To the blood red rose
Cheer a while the
Emerald Isle
And to the northern lights
And the swirling pipes
How they make a grown man cry

Seagull carry me, over land and sea
To my own folk, that's where I want to be
Every beat of my heart
Tears me further apart
I'm lost and alone in the dark
I'm going home

I've had my share of life's ups and downs
But fate's been kind, the downs have been few
I guess you could say that I've been lucky
Well, I guess you could say that it's all because of you

If anyone should ever write my life story
For whatever reason there might be
Ooo, you'll be there between each line of pain and glory
'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened to me
Ah, you're the best thing that ever happened to me

Oh, there have been times when times were hard
But always somehow I made it, I made it through
'Cause for every moment that I've spent hurting
There was a moment that I spent, ah, just loving you

If anyone should ever write my life story
For whatever reason there might be
Oh, you'll be there between each line of pain and glory
'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened to me
Oh, you're the best thing that ever happened to me
I know, you're the best thing, oh, that ever happened to me

It must have been cold there in my shadow
To never have sunlight on your face
You been content to let me shine
You always walked a step behind
I was the one with all the glory
While you were the one with all the strength
Only a face without a name
I never once heard you complain
Did you ever know that you're my hero
And everything I'd like to be
I can fly higher than an eagle
With you as the wind beneath my wings

It might have appeared to go unnoticed
But I've got it all right here right here in my heart
I want you to know I know the truth oh baby
Oh when I would be nothing without you
Did you ever know that you're my hero
And everything I'd like to be
I can fly higher higher than an eagle
With you as the wind beneath my wings
For you are the wind beneath my wings oh baby

Um I don't wanna do wrong
But you've been gone baby so long
And I hope I hope you'll understand
That it's really, it's really oh yes it is
It's out of my hands but (I don't wanna do wrong)
I don't wanna do wrong
(But it's been so long) it's been so long
(I just can't help myself) no
(No, no, no) um

since you been away
I been prayin' everyday
For God to make me strong till ya get back home
No, no, no, no I don't wanna do it
But my heart keeps tellin' me to
I know I tried with all of my might
Ah ha I think I've lost this fight
(I don't wanna do wrong) I don't wanna do wrong
(But it's been so long) it's been so long
(I just can't help myself)
I just can't (no, no, no)
Oh yeah, No I don't wanna
No I didn't wanna do it ooh, ooh, oh

But then again my dear
Time passed and I didn't hear
A comforting word from you to make me see
That you were still in love with me
So if by chance you've found ya' another girl
Love her and I wish ya' all the happiness in the world
'Cause I've found a new love and I can't break loose
I hope I can find happiness too
(I don't wanna do wrong)
I don't wanna do wrong
(But it's been so long) baby, baby, baby
(I just can't help myself) I just can't (no, no, no)
I just can't (I don't wanna do wrong)
Don't wanna do wrong no
(But it's been so long)
Baby, baby, baby (I just can't help myself)
I just can't (no, no, no)

I Heard It Through The Grapevine
Gladys Knight & The Pips
Written by Norman Whitfield & Barrett Strong

Released 9/28/67, made the top 40 on 11/04/67 where it spent 14 weeks
Highest charted position was #2,

Ooh, I bet you're wond'rin' how I knew
Baby, baby, baby, 'bout your plans to make me blue [how]
With some other girl you knew before
Between the two of us girls ya know I love you more
It took me by surprise I must say
When I found out yesterday.

Don't ya know that I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh, don't ya know that I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about, just about, just about, to lose my mind
Oh yes, I am, Oh yes, I am, Oh yes, I am.

Baby won't you listen to me.

Boy take a good look at these tears of mine
Baby, baby these tears I can't hold inside
Losin' you would end my life you see
Because you mean that much to me
You could've told me yourself
That you love some body else.

Instead I heard it through the grapevine
Oh-h, not much longer you be mine
Oh, I heard it, yes, I heard it [heard it through the grapevine]
Oh, just about, just about, just about, to lose my mind
Oh yes, I am, Oh yes, I am, Oh yes, I am

Go-o-o-o-o, go
Go, I gotta go
Go, go
You gotta let me go
Go, go, go
I gotta go whoa, whoa, whoa

Say believe half of what you see
Oh, ho, and none of what you hear
Baby, but I just can't help bein' confused
If it's true please baby, won't ya tell me dear
Oh-h-h, do you plan to let me go
For the other girl you loved before?
Don't ya know that I heard through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Don't ya know that I heard it, yes I heard it

Fade

I've really got to use my imagination
To think of good reasons
To keep on keepin' on
Got to make the best of a bad situation
Ever since that day
I woke up and found
That you were gone
Darkness all around me
Blackin out the sun
Old friends call me
But I just don't feel like talkin to anyone
Emptiness has found me
And it just won't let me go
I go right on livin'
But why I just don't know

Staring down reality
Don't do me no good
'Cause our misunderstanding
Is too well understood
Such a sad, sad season
When a good love dies.
Not a day goes by
When I don't realize
I've really got to use my imagination
To think of good reasons
To keep on keepin' on
I got to make the best of a bad situation
Ever since that day
I woke up and found
That you were gone

I've really got to use my imagination
To think of good reasons
To keep on keepin' on
I got to make the best of a bad situation
Ever since that day
I woke up and found

L.A. proved too much for the man,
So he's leavin' the life he's come to know,
He said he's goin' back to find
Ooh, what's left of his world,
The world he left behind
Not so long ago.
He's leaving,
On that midnight train to Georgia,
And he's goin' back
To a simpler place and time.
And I'll be with him
On that midnight train to Georgia,
I'd rather live in his world
Than live without him in mine.
He kept dreamin'
That someday he'd be a star.
But he sure found out the hard way
That dreams don't always come true.
So he pawned all his hopes
and he even sold his old car
Bought a one way ticket
To the life he once knew,
Oh yes he did,
He said he would
Be leavin
On that midnight train to Georgia,
And he's goin' back
To a simpler place and time.
And I'll be with him
On that midnight train to Georgia,
I'd rather live in his world
Than live without him in mine.
Go, gonna board, gonna board,
Gonna board the midnight train.
Gotta go, gonna board
Gonna board
Gonna board the midnight train
(repeat, fade)

> I need somebody
Whos consistent with me
Someone already there
When I need company
Cuz when Im feelin low
I dont wanna have to go out lookin
for a Part time love

And when the dreams and rainbows start to disappear
I dont want somebody up and runnin out of here
Cus when you stop and start
Baby its a just too hard upon my heart
For a part time kind of love

I cant take it now
Now listen here waitn see
I want somebodys whos committed now to me
Somewhere, somewhere
Someday, Someday youv...

> [Come and walk with me]
[We can go where peaceful waters flow]

If loneliness surrounds you
And rain clouds always hang around you
And wakin up each day gets you down [Gets you down, gets you down]
And if the life that youre leading
Seems hollow, then maybe what youre needing
Is someone to turn your world around

[Take my hand] Come take my hand and walk with me [And walk awhile]
[Let me teach you how to smile] Let me teach you how to smile
[And Ill show you skies ] And Ill show you skies where gentle breezes blow
[Where breezes, gentle breezes blow] Yeah, hey

And Ill take you where peaceful waters flow [Peaceful waters flow]
If you let me Ill take you where peaceful waters flow
[Come and walk with me] Mmm, hmm
[We can go where peaceful waters flow]

Now if the sunshine hurts your eyes, boy
Then its time for you to realize, boy
Beyond this moment theres
A better day [Better day], mmm, hmm [Better day]

And if you let me
Ill guide you, mmm
Ill always be there, right there beside you
Reaching every step of your way

[Come take my hand and walk] Come take my hand and walk with me awhile
[And walk awhile] Yeah, hey, hey
[Let me teach you how to smile ] Let me teach you how to smile
And Ill show you skies [Ill show you skies ] where gentle breezes blow

And Ill take you where peaceful waters flow [Peaceful waters flow]
Hey, hey, if you trust me, Ill take you there where peaceful waters flow

Through these misty eyes I see lonely skies
Lonely road to Babylon
Where's my family
And my country
heaven knows where I belong

Pack my bags tonight
Here's one Jacobite
Who must leave or surely die
Put me on a train
In the pouring rain say farewell
but don't say goodbye

Seagull carry me, over land and sea
To my own folk, that's where I want to be
Every beat of my heart
Tears me further apart
I'm lost and alone in the dark
I'm going home

One more glass of wine
Just for auld lang syne
And the girl I left behind
How I miss her now In my darkest hour
And the way our arms entwine

Seagull carry me, over land and sea
To my own folk, that's where I want to be
Every beat of my heart
Tears me further apart
I'm lost and alone in the dark
I'm going home

And we'll drink a toast
To the blood red rose
Cheer a while the
Emerald Isle
And to the northern lights
And the swirling pipes
How they make a grown man cry

Seagull carry me, over land and sea
To my own folk, that's where I want to be
Every beat of my heart
Tears me further apart
I'm lost and alone in the dark
I'm going home

Ooh, I bet you're wond'rin' how I knew

Don't ya know that I heard it, yes I heard it

It's sad to think we're not gonna be here
And it's gotten to the point
Where we just can't fake it
For some ungodly reason
We just won't let it be

I guess neither one of us
Neither one of us wants to be the first to say good-bye

I keep wondering
Wondering
What I'm gonna do without you
And I guess you must be wondering the same thing too
So we go on
Go on together
Living a lie

Because I guess neither one of us
Neither one of us wants to be the first to say good-bye

Everytime I find the nerve
Everytime I find the nerve to say I'm leaving
Memories
Those old memories get in my way
Lord knows it's only me
Only know it's me
That I'm missing you
When it comes to saying good-bye
That a simple word that I just cannot say
There can be no way
There can be no way
This can have a happy ending
No, no
So we just go on
Hurting and pretending
Convincing ourselves to give it just one more try

Because I guess neither one of us
Neither one of us wants to be the first to say
Neither one of us wants to be the first to say
Neither one of us wants to be the first to say
Farewell my love
Goodbye

Say you wanna be loved
But you wont let me love you
Say you want someone to trust in you, baby
Cant you see thats what Im tryin to do

I know youve been hurt before
And youre afraid to try love once more

Without love by your side, youre only half alive
Cause everybody needs love, oh, yeah
Everybody needs love

Say you wanna be kissed (Mmm, hmm)
But you wont let me kiss you (No, no, no)
Say you wanna be missed (Mmm, hmm)
Cant you see how my arms are missing you

Shes got you hurting so inside
Now with love you try to hide

But no matter how you try
Without love you cant survive
Cause everybody needs love, oh, yeah
Everybody needs love
Oh, loves alright

You need love, I need love
Everybody needs love

Baby, dont you know that
You need love and I need love
Everybody needs love, oh, yeah
Everybody needs love

Say you wake up in the morning, yes, you will
Feeling, ooh, so empty inside (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I bet I know what your trouble is, baby
You need someone like me by your side

I know youve been hurt before
But dont be afraid to try love once more

Cause without love youll find
Youll have no peace of mind
Cause everybody needs love, oh, yeah
Everybody needs love

You need love and I need love
Everybody needs love, love, love
You need love, I sure need love
Everybody needs love

Sunshine blue skies please go away
The girl has found another and gone away.
With her went my future my life is filled with gloom
So day after day I stay locked up in my room.
I know to you, it might sound strange but I wish it would rain,

Cause so badly I wanna go outside
But everyone knows that a man ain't supposed to cry
Listen, I gotta cry 'cause crying eases the pain,
Oh yeah, people this hurt I feel inside.
Words could never explain, I just wish it would rain.

Day in day out my tear-stained face
Pressed against the window pain,
My eyes search the skies desperately for rain,
Cause rain-drops will hide my tear -drops
And no one will ever know that I'm crying,
Crying when I go outside.
To the world outside my tears,
I refuse to explain, oh I wish it would rain,
let it rain, let it rain.
I need rain to disguise the tears in my eyes.
Oh, let it rain.
I'm a man and I got my pride
Til' it rains I'm gonna stay inside and let it rain.

Goodbye

A look your smile can't disguise
The look of lo-ove is saying so much more than just words could ever say
And what my heart has heard, well it takes my breath away
I can hardly wait to hold you, feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you, now that I have found you
Don't ever go You've got the
Look of love, it's on your face
A look that time can't erase
Be mine toni-ight, let this be just the start of so many nights like this
Let's take a lover's vow and then seal it with a kiss
I can hardly wait to hold you, feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you, now that I have found you
Don't ever go
Don't ever go
I love you so
I love you so
I love you so

Your ex is back in town
What you gonna do when she comes around
And she starts going through her act
Will she make you to you change your act
Will your love for me remain intact
Or will you run to her

Baby, my love is on the line
Baby, don't change your mind
Don't change it
Be strong and leave the past behind
Baby, don't change your mind
Don't change it, don't you change it

You say your love is true
Whatcha gonna say when she looks at you
Will the seconds in your head
Make you take back the thing you said
Will you give me real despair
Or will you stay with me

Baby, my love is on the line
Baby, don't change your mind
Don't change it
Be strong and leave the past behind
Baby, don't change your mind
Don't change it, don't you change it

I will exit and take a bow
But I don't want to do it now
So I'm thinking someway somehow
Baby, you'll stay with me

Baby, my love is on the line
Baby, don't change your mind
Don't change it
Be strong and leave the past behind
Baby, don't change your mind
Don't change it, don't change it

You know she's not the staying kind
Baby, don't ya change your mind
Don't change it
You know my love is genuine
Baby, don't change your mind
Don't change it

Baby, my love is on the line
Baby, don't change your mind
Don't change it
Be strong and leave the past behind
Baby, don't change your mind
Don't change it

I've had my share of life's ups and downs
But fate's been kind, the downs have been few
I guess you could say that I've been lucky
Well, I guess you could say that it's all because of you

Ah, you're the best thing that ever happened to me

Oh, there have been times when times were hard
But always somehow I made it, I made it through

There was a moment that I spent, ah, just loving you

I know, you're the best thing, oh, that ever happened to me

Through these misty eyes I see lonely skies
Lonely road to Babylon
Where's my family
And my country

Pack my bags tonight
Here's one Jacobite
Who must leave or surely die
Put me on a train
In the pouring rain say farewell
but don't say goodbye

Seagull carry me, over land and sea
To my own folk, that's where I want to be
Every beat of my heart
Tears me further apart
I'm lost and alone in the dark
I'm going home

One more glass of wine
Just for auld lang syne
And the girl I left behind
How I miss her now In my darkest hour
And the way our arms entwine

Seagull carry me, over land and sea
To my own folk, that's where I want to be
Every beat of my heart
Tears me further apart
I'm lost and alone in the dark
I'm going home

And we'll drink a toast
To the blood red rose
Cheer a while the
Emerald Isle
And to the northern lights
And the swirling pipes
How they make a grown man cry

Seagull carry me, over land and sea
To my own folk, that's where I want to be
Every beat of my heart
Tears me further apart
I'm lost and alone in the dark
I'm going home

I've really got to use my imagination
To think of good reasons
To keep on keepin' on

Got to make the best of a bad situation
Ever since that day
I woke up and found
That you were gone

Darkness all around me
Blackin out the sun
Old friends call me
But I just don't feel like talkin to anyone

Emptiness has found me
And it just wont let me go
I go right on livin'
But why I just don't know

Staring down reality
Don't do me no good
'Cause our misunderstanding
Is too well understood

Such a sad, sad season
When a good love dies.
Not a day goes by
When I don't realize

I've really got to use my imagination
To think of good reasons
To keep on keepin' on

Got to make the best of a bad situation
Ever since that day
I woke up and found
That you were gone

I know that we both talked it over and said that it's best to forget
And we'll leave all our mem'ries behind us, it's better ended and yet
So sad the song of two empty lives when that moment of truth suddenly arrives

Together, we belong together.
Never was that one lovely word easier to say.
So sad the song of just remembering when knowing the love of your life
Will never come again.

Ever on that you can rely.
So would it be wrong to give our love just one more try (my darlin')

And yet, so sad the song of what might have been
You see a lifetime of dreams scattered in the wind

Together, we belong together
And I'll love you for one lovely word easier to say.
So sad the song of just remembering when knowing the love of your life
Will never come again.

Ever on that you can rely.
So would it be wrong to give our love just one more try (my darlin')
So sad the song that says goodbye.

Come and walk with me
We can go where peaceful waters flow

If loneliness surrounds you
And rain clouds always hang around you
And wakin? up each day gets you down
Gets you down, gets you down

And if the life that you?re leading
Seems hollow then maybe
What you?re needing
Is someone to turn your world around?

Take my hand
Come take my hand
And walk with me and walk awhile
Let me teach you how to smile

Let me teach you how to smile
And I?ll show you skies
And I?ll show you skies where gentle breezes blow
Where breezes, gentle breezes blow, yeah, hey

And I?ll take you where peaceful waters flow
Peaceful waters flow

If you let me, I?ll take you
Where peaceful waters flow
Come and walk with me, mmm, hmm
We can go where peaceful waters flow

Now if the sunshine hurts your eyes, boy
Then it?s time for you to realize, boy
Beyond this moment there?s a better day
Better day, mmm, hmm, better day

And if you let me
I?ll guide you, mmm
I?ll always be there, right there beside you
Reaching every step of your way

Come take my hand and walk
Come take my hand and walk with me awhile
And walk awhile, yeah, hey, hey
Let me teach you how to smile

Let me teach you how to smile
And I?ll show you skies, I?ll show you skies
Where gentle breezes blow
Where breezes, gentle breezes blow, hey, yeah, hey, hey, hey

And I?ll take you where peaceful waters flow
Peaceful waters flow

Hey, hey, if you trust me
I?ll take you there where peaceful waters flow
Come and walk with me, mmm, hmm
We can go where peaceful waters flow

Through these misty eyes I see lonely skies
Lonely road to Babylon
Where's my family
And my country
heaven knows where I belong

Pack my bags tonight
Here's one Jacobite
Who must leave or surely die
Put me on a train
In the pouring rain say farewell
but don't say goodbye

Seagull carry me, over land and sea
To my own folk, that's where I want to be
Every beat of my heart
Tears me further apart
I'm lost and alone in the dark
I'm going home

One more glass of wine
Just for auld lang syne
And the girl I left behind
How I miss her now In my darkest hour
And the way our arms entwine

Seagull carry me, over land and sea
To my own folk, that's where I want to be
Every beat of my heart
Tears me further apart
I'm lost and alone in the dark
I'm going home

And we'll drink a toast
To the blood red rose
Cheer a while the
Emerald Isle
And to the northern lights
And the swirling pipes
How they make a grown man cry

Seagull carry me, over land and sea
To my own folk, that's where I want to be
Every beat of my heart
Tears me further apart
I'm lost and alone in the dark
I'm going home

> I&#39;ve been crying
&#39;Cause I&#39;m lonely (for you)
Smiles have all turned to tears
But tears won&#39;t wash away the fears
That you&#39;re never ever gonna return
To ease the fire that within me burns

It keeps me crying baby for you
Keeps me sighin&#39; baby for you
So won&#39;t you hurry ?
Come on boy, see about me
(Come see about me)
See about you baby

I&#39;ve given up my friends just for you
My friends are gone
And you have too
No peace shall I find
Until you come back
And be mine
No matter what you do or say
I&#39;m gonna love you anyway

Keep on crying baby for you
I&#39;m gonna keep sighin&#39; baby for you
So come on hurry
Come on and see about me
(Come see about me)
See about you baby

Sometime&#39;s up
Sometime&#39;s down
My life&#39;s so uncertain
With you not around
From my arms you maybe out of reach
But my heart says you&#39;re here to keep

Keeps me crying baby for you
Keep on, keep on crying baby for you
So won&#39;t you hurry
Come on boy, see about me (Come see about me)
See about you baby (Come see about me)
You know I&#39;m so lonely (Come see about me)
I love you only (Come see about me)
See about your baby (Come see about me)
Hurry, hurry

> If I stay, I know I&#39;m that I&#39;ma share your love and that I couldn&#39;t take. And
if I go, we&#39;ll be apart and I know my heart would surely break. So, what
difference does it make, which one I choose? Either way I lose.

Though I know, my love is true. I&#39;d die if you ever told me good-bye. Ever told
me good-bye. And I know, she loves you too. She would do, the same as I. What
difference does it make, which one I choose? Either way I lose. Either way I
lose. EIther way I lose.

> Letter Full Of Tears
Gladys Knight & The Pips

Mmmmm
Here comes the mailman walking up the street
and it looks like he has a letter today for me
Wait a minute let me look inside no it couldn't be from my guy
because he he brought me, (yes he did)
I said he he brought me, (yes he did)
A letter full of tears
I thought we had a love so strong (we had a love)
it would take a lifetime to break us apart
oh yes
but I found out today I was wrong
and my reward was a broken heart my my heart
oh here comes the teardrops welcome a welcome to my eyes
and I couldn't hold 'em back no matter if I tried
wo wo oh
You know it hurt me so inside
won't you pardon me while I cry
because he brought me (yes he did)
I said he brought me (yes he did) a letter full of tears
(here comes the mailman) Those aren't drip drop tears (bringing me tears)
Can't you see them falling (here comes the mailman bringing me tears) wo
wo oh wo wo oh wo wo oh oh oh (hey, yes he did, hey hey , yes he did, hey
hey hey woo
yes he did)
I thought (hey hey hey woo yes he did)
we had a love so strong
(hey hey hey woo, yes he did)



From: sassy11749@ibm.net

You look inside my fantasies
And make it one comes true
Something no one else had ever found a way to do
I kept the memories one by one
Since you took me in
I know I'll never love this way again

I know I'll never love this way again
So I keep holding on before the good is gone
I know I'll never love this way again
Hold on, hold on, hold on

A fool will loose tomorrow
Reaching out for yesterday
I won't turn my head in sorrow
If you should go away

I'll stand here and remember
Just how good this been
And I know I'll never love this way again

I know I'll never love this way again
So I keep holding on before the good is gone
I know I'll never love this way again
Hold on, hold on, hold on
1979

Ooooh...

Lord, dear Lord above, God almighty,
God of love, Please look down and see my people through.

I believe that God put sun and moon up in the sky.
I don't mind the gray skies
'cause they're just clouds passing by.

Heaven is a goodness time. A brighter light on high.

Do unto others as you would have them do to you.


And have a brighter by and by.

Lord, dear Lord above, God almighty,
God of love, Please look down and see my people through.

I believe God is now, was then and always will be.
With God's blessing we can make it through eternity.

Lord, dear Lord above, God almighty,
God of love, Please look down and see my people through.

Do nothing till you hear from me,
Pay no attention to what's said
Why people tear the seam
Of anyone's dream
Is over my head
Do nothing till you hear from me,
At least consider our romance
If you should take the word
Of others you've heard
I haven't a chance

True, I've been seen with someone new
But does that mean that I'm untrue?
When we're apart,
The words in my heart
Reveal how I feel about you

Some kiss may cloud my memory
And other arms may hold a thrill
But please do nothing
Till you hear it from me
And you never will

oh don't u do a nuthin
pay no attention to the stories
so ive seen another guy or two
don't mean im not in love with you
why people tear the seam
of anyone's dream
ther reason is over my head
don't you do a thing


until u hear it from me

please just consider
what a dance our romance has been
i'd certainly do it again
if u should take the words
of others you've heard
i haven't got a chance

True, I've been seen
with someone other than u
But does that mean
that now my love's untrue
When we're apart,
The words in my heart
Reveal just how I feel about you

Some kiss may cloud my memory
And other lovin arms may hold a thrill
But baby do a nuthin
Till you hear it from me
o just do nuthin
baby just a wait n and see
cause baby
oh no
u never will
u never will
u never will
oh oh no
u never will

(Arthur Herzog, Jr. - Billie Holiday)

Them that's got shall get
Them that's not shall lose
So the Bible said and it still is news
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own

Yes, the strong gets more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't ever make the grade
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own

Money, you've got lots of friends
Crowding round the door
When you're gone, spending ends
They don't come no more
Rich relations give
Crust of bread and such
You can help yourself
But don't take too much
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own

Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
He just worry 'bout nothin'
Cause he's got his own

Woh, woh, ha, yeah, hmm---, oh

Good morning heartache, you old gloomy site

Good morning heartache

Thought we said goodbye last night

I tossed and turned until it seemed that you had gone

But here you are with the dawn

Hoo, wish I'd forget you, but you're here to stay, yeah

It seems I met ya, when my love had gone away

I start each day out just by saying to you

Good morning heartache, what's new

Stop haunting me now, can't shake you no how


Why don't you just leave me alone

I've got those Monday blues

those straight through Sunday blues

Oh, good morning heartache, here we go

Here we go, here we go again, well

Good morning heartache

You're the one who knew me when

I guess I might as well get used to you hanging around

Good morning heartache, I see you're back in town

Good morning heartache, why don't ya sit on down, sit down ------

(Sammy Fain - Irving Kahal)

[Originally by Billie Holiday]

I'll be seeing you
In all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces
All day and through
In that small cafe
The park across the way
The children carrousel
The chestnut trees
The wishing well

I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day
In everything that's light and gay
I'll always think of you that way

I'll find in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you

I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day
In everything that's light and gay
I'll always think of you that way

I'll find in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you

(Buddy Johnson)

You made me leave my happy home
You took my love and now you're gone
Since I fell for you

Love brings such misery and pain
I guess I'll never be the same
Since I fell for you

It's so bad, It's so sad
I'm in love with you
You love me, then you snub me
But what can I do
I'm still in love with you

I guess I'll never see the light
I get the blues 'bout every night
Since I fell for you
Since I fell for you

(Harold Arlen - Ted Koehler)

Don't know why, there's no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather, since my man and I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time

Life is bare, gloom and misery everywhere
Stormy weather, just can't get my poor old self together
I'm weary all the time, the time, so weary all of the time

When he went away, the blues walked in and met me
If he stays away, old rocking chair will get me
All I do is pray, the lord above will let me
Walk in the sun once more

Can't go on, everything I had is gone
Stormy weather, since my man and I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time
Keeps raining all of the time

I walk around heavy-hearted and sad
Night comes around and I'm still feeling bad
Rain pourin' down, blinding every hope I had
This pitter andd n patter and beating, spattering driving me mad
Love, love, love, love, the misery will be the end of me

When he went away, the blues walked in and met me
If he stays away, old rocking chair will get me
All I do is pray, the lord above will let me
Walk in the sun once more

Can't go on, everything I had is gone
Stormy weather, since my man and I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time, the time
Keeps raining all the time

(Clyde Otis)

This bitter earth
Well, what fruit it bears
What good is love
Mmmm that no one shares
And if my life is like the dust
Oooh that hides the glow of a rose
What good am I
Heaven only knows

Lord, this bitter earth
Yes, can be so cold
Today youre young
Too soon, youre old
But while a voice within me cries
Im sure someone may answer my call
And this bitter earth
Ooooo may not
Oh be so bitter after all
