All of my love belongs to you
All of my love belongs to you
All of my love belongs to you
Because you, you belong to me
Even my hands belong to you
I use my hands oh to work for you
Even my hands belong to you
Because you, you belong to me
You gave me love and swore by stars above
You'd be with me all the way
You've been so good to me
That I can plainly see the reason why I say
Oh, even my voice belongs to you
I use my voice oh to sing, to sing, to sing to you
Even my voice belongs, belongs to you
Because you, you belong to me
Oh, you gave me love and swore by stars above
You'd be with me all the way
You've been so good to me
That I can plainly see the reason why I say
Even my voice belongs to you
I use my voice oh to sing, to sing, to sing to you
Even my, my, my, my, my, my, my voice belongs to you
Because you, you belong, you belong to me
Because you, you belong to me
Goin' Home lyrics - Sam Cooke
goin' home
goin' home
I'm a going on
quiet like some still day
I'm just going home
It's not far
It's just close by
through an open door
work all done
care laid by
going to fear no more
mother's there
expecting me
father's waiting too
lot's of folk
gathered there
all the friends I knew
all the friends I knew
nothing loss of days
no more fret or pain
no more stumblin on the way
no more longing for the day
going to roam no more
that morning star lights the way
restless dream all done
shadows gone
break off day
my real life just began
I'm a going home
I'm a going home
I'm a going home
goin' home
I'm a going on
quiet like some still day
I'm just going home
It's not far
It's just close by
through an open door
work all done
care laid by
going to fear no more
mother's there
expecting me
father's waiting too
lot's of folk
gathered there
all the friends I knew
all the friends I knew
nothing loss of days
no more fret or pain
no more stumblin on the way
no more longing for the day
going to roam no more
that morning star lights the way
restless dream all done
shadows gone
break off day
my real life just began
I'm a going home
I'm a going home
I'm a going home
Wonderful World lyrics - Sam Cooke
Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about a science book
Don't know much about the French I took
But I do know that I love you
And I know that if you love me, too
What a wonderful world this would be
Don't know much about geography
Don't know much trigonometry
Don't know much about algebra
Don't know what a slide rule is for
But I do know one and one is two
And if this one could be with you
What a wonderful world this would be
Now, I don't claim to be an A student
But I'm trying to be
For maybe by being an A student, baby
I can win your love for me
Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about a science book
Don't know much about the French I took
But I do know that I love you
And I know that if you love me, too
What a wonderful world this would be
La ta ta ta ta ta ta (History)
Hmm-mm-mm (Biology)
La ta ta ta ta ta ta (Science book)
Hmm-mm-mm (French I took)
Yeah, but I do know that I love you
And I know that if you love me, too
What a wonderful world this would be
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about a science book
Don't know much about the French I took
But I do know that I love you
And I know that if you love me, too
What a wonderful world this would be
Don't know much about geography
Don't know much trigonometry
Don't know much about algebra
Don't know what a slide rule is for
But I do know one and one is two
And if this one could be with you
What a wonderful world this would be
Now, I don't claim to be an A student
But I'm trying to be

Desire Me lyrics - Sam Cooke
Desire me, desire me
As I desire you
Desire me and want me
That's all I ever ask of life
That you will someday come to me
And say that you love me
As I love you
Hmm
Desire me and tell me
That you are mine and mine alone
Desire me and love me
And be the queen upon my throne
For I will always worship you
No matter where you go or what you do
There comes a time in the life of every boy
When one and only one girl will do
So now the time has come
And I know that you're the one
And all that I will ever want is you
So desire me desire me
That's all I ever ask of you
Desire me and love and tell me that you want me too
For nothing else will matter in the world
As long as I am close to you
There comes a time
In the life of every boy
When one and only one girl will do
So now the time has come
And I know that you're the one
And all that I will ever want is you
So now the time has come
And I know you are the one
And all that I will ever want is you
As I desire you
Desire me and want me
That's all I ever ask of life
That you will someday come to me
And say that you love me
As I love you
Hmm
Desire me and tell me
That you are mine and mine alone
Desire me and love me
And be the queen upon my throne
For I will always worship you
No matter where you go or what you do
There comes a time in the life of every boy
When one and only one girl will do
So now the time has come
And I know that you're the one
And all that I will ever want is you
So desire me desire me
That's all I ever ask of you
Desire me and love and tell me that you want me too
For nothing else will matter in the world
As long as I am close to you
There comes a time
In the life of every boy

So now the time has come
And I know that you're the one
And all that I will ever want is you
So now the time has come
And I know you are the one
And all that I will ever want is you

Almost In Your Arms lyrics - Sam Cooke
You're here, that moment's near,
I'm almost in your arms
Tonight, the mood is right,
I'm almost in your arms
One sigh, one word
and I will rush to your embrace
Say that certain word,
sigh that certain sigh
And with all my heart,
to your arms I'll fly
It's strange, how we are changed
by things that seem so small
One look can write a book,
one touch can say it all
We know those nights alone,
and now we found our way
I'm almost in your arms,
nearly in your arms to stay
[repeat first and last verse]
I'm almost in your arms
Tonight, the mood is right,
I'm almost in your arms
One sigh, one word
and I will rush to your embrace
Say that certain word,
sigh that certain sigh
And with all my heart,
to your arms I'll fly
It's strange, how we are changed
by things that seem so small
One look can write a book,
one touch can say it all
We know those nights alone,
and now we found our way
I'm almost in your arms,
nearly in your arms to stay
[repeat first and last verse]
That's Heaven To Me lyrics - Sam Cooke
The things that I see
As I walk along the streets
That's heaven to me
A little flower that blooms in May
A lovely sunset at the end of a day
Someone helping a stranger along the way
(That's heaven to me)
That's heaven to me
The feeling I have when I hear a touching prayer
It makes me know, the Lord is somewhere
Even the birds flying around in the air
(That's heaven to me)
That's heaven to me, no
It doesn't have to be a miracle
In order for me to see, I know
The goodness of my, my Savior
Is everywhere to me, woah, woah, woah
Even the children playing in the street
Sing a friendly hello to everyone that they meet
Even the leaves blowing out, blowing out
Blowing out, blowing out on the tree
(That's heaven to me)
That's heaven to me, woah, woah
Woah woah, woah woah, woah Lord
As I walk along the streets
That's heaven to me
A little flower that blooms in May
A lovely sunset at the end of a day
Someone helping a stranger along the way
(That's heaven to me)
That's heaven to me
The feeling I have when I hear a touching prayer
It makes me know, the Lord is somewhere
Even the birds flying around in the air
(That's heaven to me)
That's heaven to me, no
It doesn't have to be a miracle
In order for me to see, I know
The goodness of my, my Savior
Is everywhere to me, woah, woah, woah
Even the children playing in the street
Sing a friendly hello to everyone that they meet
Even the leaves blowing out, blowing out
Blowing out, blowing out on the tree
(That's heaven to me)
That's heaven to me, woah, woah
Woah woah, woah woah, woah Lord
No One lyrics - Sam Cooke
Oh how I love you
every moment I can see your face
Oh how I love you
no one, no one could ever
never will take your place
oh how I love you
every moment I know I see your face
oh how I love you
no one could ever take your place
every morning when I rise
I can almost see you standing before my eyes
and every night when I go to sleep
my prayer is our love will keep
I long to see your smiling face
I long to feel your warm embrace
how could anyone ever take your place
oh how I love you
every moment I know I see your
oh how I love you
no one could ever take your place
oh how I love you
every moment I can see your face
Oh how I love you
no one, no one could ever
never will take your place
oh how I love you
every moment I know I see your face
oh how I love you
no one could ever take your place
every morning when I rise
I can almost see you standing before my eyes
and every night when I go to sleep
my prayer is our love will keep
I long to see your smiling face
I long to feel your warm embrace
how could anyone ever take your place
oh how I love you
every moment I know I see your
oh how I love you
no one could ever take your place
oh how I love you
With You lyrics - Sam Cooke
With you
With you, although I am poor, I feel like a king
With you
With you, though I have nothing, I feel I have everything
But without you my dreams will soon fade away
I'd be here crying day after day, ohh
Promise me you'll never, never, never
Never leave me
Oh, when I'm with you
With you, oh life means everything to me
With you
With you, just like a child, I'm happy as I can be
But without you I'm lost like a child left alone
Crying for its mother and wishing she was home
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know you'll never, never, never leave me
Ohh, you are my love
For your wonderful, wonderful, wonderful love, I live
You are my life
For your wonderful love my life I'd gladly give
For only when I'm with you
With you, oh do I, do I, do I feel the way that I do
With you
With you, I found, I found, I found, I found the love that's always true
But without you I'm lost, so you find my way
I'd be here crying day after day, ohh
Promise, promise, promise me you'll never
Never leave me
With you, although I am poor, I feel like a king
With you
With you, though I have nothing, I feel I have everything
But without you my dreams will soon fade away
I'd be here crying day after day, ohh
Promise me you'll never, never, never
Never leave me
Oh, when I'm with you
With you, oh life means everything to me
With you
With you, just like a child, I'm happy as I can be
But without you I'm lost like a child left alone
Crying for its mother and wishing she was home
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know you'll never, never, never leave me
Ohh, you are my love
For your wonderful, wonderful, wonderful love, I live
You are my life
For your wonderful love my life I'd gladly give
For only when I'm with you
With you, oh do I, do I, do I feel the way that I do
With you
With you, I found, I found, I found, I found the love that's always true
But without you I'm lost, so you find my way
I'd be here crying day after day, ohh
Promise, promise, promise me you'll never
Never leave me
Blue Moon lyrics - Sam Cooke
Blue moon,
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
You heard me sing a prayer
For someone I really care for
Then suddenly there appeared before me
The only one my arms could ever hold
Then I heard somebody whisper:
„Please adore me!“ and when I looked
The moon had turned to gold
Blue moon, now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Stealing Kisses lyrics - Sam Cooke
Stealing kisses, precious kisses
You should be ashamed, I trust in you
Stealing kisses, someone's kisses
Starting a romance that wasn't meant for you
I begged and begged you to be careful
But you were always acting smart
You kept on
Stealing kisses, precious kisses
And suddenly you stole my heart
(Stealing kisses, precious kisses)
You should be ashamed I trusted you
(Stealing kisses, someone's kisses)
Starting a romance that wasn't meant for you
(I begged and begged you to be careful)
But you were always acting so smart
Stealing kisses, precious kisses
You should be ashamed, I trust in you
Stealing kisses, someone's kisses
Starting a romance that wasn't meant for you
But now I wish we never, never, never part
Stealing kisses, someone's kisses
And suddenly you stole my heart
You should be ashamed, I trust in you
Stealing kisses, someone's kisses
Starting a romance that wasn't meant for you
I begged and begged you to be careful
But you were always acting smart
You kept on
Stealing kisses, precious kisses
And suddenly you stole my heart
(Stealing kisses, precious kisses)
You should be ashamed I trusted you
(Stealing kisses, someone's kisses)
Starting a romance that wasn't meant for you
(I begged and begged you to be careful)
But you were always acting so smart
Stealing kisses, precious kisses
You should be ashamed, I trust in you
Stealing kisses, someone's kisses
Starting a romance that wasn't meant for you
But now I wish we never, never, never part
Stealing kisses, someone's kisses
And suddenly you stole my heart
You Were Made For Me lyrics - Sam Cooke
A fish was made to swim in the ocean
A boat was made to sale on the sea
As sure as there are stars above,
I know I know you were made for me
You were made for me.
A grape was made to grow on a vine
An apple was made to grow on a tree
As sure as there are stars above,
I know I know you were made for me
We'll have our quarrels and you will upset me
But what can I do?
You've been mine ever since I met you and I'll never leave you
No I'll never leave you
As sure as there’s a heaven up above me,
From you I know I'll never be free.
As sure as there are stars above,
I know I know you were made for me.
A fish was made to swim in the ocean
A boat was made to sail on the sea
As sure as there are stars above,
I know I know you were made for me
You were made for me
A grape was made to grow on a vine
An apple, an apple was made to grow on a tree
As sure as there are stars above,
I know I know you were made for me
We'll have our quarrels and you will upset me
But what can I do?
You've been mine ever since I met you and i'll never
Never leave you.
As sure as there’s a heaven up above me,
From you I know I'll never be free
As sure as there are stars above,
I know I know you were made for me
A boat was made to sale on the sea
As sure as there are stars above,
I know I know you were made for me
You were made for me.
A grape was made to grow on a vine
An apple was made to grow on a tree
As sure as there are stars above,
I know I know you were made for me
We'll have our quarrels and you will upset me
But what can I do?
You've been mine ever since I met you and I'll never leave you
No I'll never leave you
As sure as there’s a heaven up above me,
From you I know I'll never be free.
As sure as there are stars above,
I know I know you were made for me.
A fish was made to swim in the ocean
A boat was made to sail on the sea
As sure as there are stars above,
I know I know you were made for me
You were made for me
A grape was made to grow on a vine
An apple, an apple was made to grow on a tree
As sure as there are stars above,
I know I know you were made for me
We'll have our quarrels and you will upset me
But what can I do?
You've been mine ever since I met you and i'll never
Never leave you.
As sure as there’s a heaven up above me,
From you I know I'll never be free
As sure as there are stars above,
I know I know you were made for me
There I've Said It Again lyrics - Sam Cooke
(love you, love you)
I love you, there’s nothing to hide
It’s better than burning inside
I love you, no use to pretend
There I’ve said it again
I’ve said it, what more can I say
Believe me, There’s no other way
I just love you and will to the end
There I’ve said it again
I tried to drum up,
A frase that would sum up
All that I feel, that I feel for you
But what good are frazes
The thought that amazes
Is you love me and it’s so heavenly
Forgive me, for wanting you so
There’s one thing I want you to know
[?] and that I love you so
Heaven knows when
There I’ve said it again
There I’ve said it again
I love you, there’s nothing to hide
It’s better than burning inside
I love you, no use to pretend
There I’ve said it again
I’ve said it, what more can I say
Believe me, There’s no other way
I just love you and will to the end
There I’ve said it again
I tried to drum up,
A frase that would sum up
All that I feel, that I feel for you
But what good are frazes
The thought that amazes
Is you love me and it’s so heavenly
Forgive me, for wanting you so
There’s one thing I want you to know
[?] and that I love you so
Heaven knows when
There I’ve said it again
There I’ve said it again
I Thank God lyrics - Sam Cooke
this wonderful world we live in
is God's masterpiece of art
and I live each golden moment
with his love in my heart
I thank God
for blessing me
with eyes to see
each wondrous day
and I thank God
for hands to help
my fellow man along the way
he gave me lips to speak the simple truth
and ears to hear to magic dreams of youth
I thank God for giving me
his blessed book with words divine
for now I know dear God I know
the miracle of life is mine
yes Dear God I know
the miracle of life is mine
is God's masterpiece of art
and I live each golden moment
with his love in my heart
I thank God
for blessing me
with eyes to see
each wondrous day
and I thank God
for hands to help
my fellow man along the way
he gave me lips to speak the simple truth
and ears to hear to magic dreams of youth
I thank God for giving me
his blessed book with words divine
for now I know dear God I know
the miracle of life is mine
yes Dear God I know
the miracle of life is mine
Hey There lyrics - Sam Cooke
Hey there, you with the stars in your eyes
Love never made a fool of you
You used to be too, yes, Hey there
You on that high-flying cloud
Tough she won't throw a crumb at you
You think someday she'll come to you
Better forget her
her with her nose in the air
She has you dancing on a string
Break it and she won't care
Hey there, won't you take this advice
I hand you like a brother
Or are you not seeing things to clear
Are you too much in love to hear
Is it all going in one ear and out the other
hmm and out the other, in one ear and out the other
won't you take this advice
I hand you like a brother
Or are you not seeing things to clear
Are you too much in love to hear
Is it all going in one ear and out the other
hmm and out the other, in one ear and out the other
Love never made a fool of you
You used to be too, yes, Hey there
You on that high-flying cloud
Tough she won't throw a crumb at you
You think someday she'll come to you
Better forget her
her with her nose in the air
She has you dancing on a string
Break it and she won't care
Hey there, won't you take this advice
I hand you like a brother
Or are you not seeing things to clear
Are you too much in love to hear
Is it all going in one ear and out the other
hmm and out the other, in one ear and out the other
won't you take this advice
I hand you like a brother
Or are you not seeing things to clear
Are you too much in love to hear
Is it all going in one ear and out the other
hmm and out the other, in one ear and out the other
Mona Lisa lyrics - Sam Cooke
Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa men have named you
You’re so like the lady with the mystic smile
It is only ‘cause you’re lonely
They have blamed you
For that Mona Lisa strangeness in your smile
Do you smile to tempt a lover, Mona Lisa
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart
Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep
They just lie there and they die there
Are you warm, are you rael Mona Lisa
Or just as cold and lonely, lovely work of art
Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep
They just lie there and they die there
Are you warm, are you real Mona Lisa
Or just as cold and lonely, lovely work of art
You’re so like the lady with the mystic smile
It is only ‘cause you’re lonely
They have blamed you
For that Mona Lisa strangeness in your smile
Do you smile to tempt a lover, Mona Lisa
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart
Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep
They just lie there and they die there
Are you warm, are you rael Mona Lisa
Or just as cold and lonely, lovely work of art
Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep
They just lie there and they die there
Are you warm, are you real Mona Lisa
Or just as cold and lonely, lovely work of art
Too Young lyrics - Sam Cooke
They try to tell us we're too young
Too young to really be in love
They say that love's a word
A word we've only heard
But can't begin to know the meaning of
And yet we're not too young to know
This love will last though years may go
And then some day they may recall
We were not too young at all
And yet we're not too young to know
This love will last though years may go
And then some day they may recall
We were not too young at all
Too young to really be in love
They say that love's a word
A word we've only heard
But can't begin to know the meaning of
And yet we're not too young to know
This love will last though years may go
And then some day they may recall
We were not too young at all
And yet we're not too young to know
This love will last though years may go
And then some day they may recall
We were not too young at all
The Great Pretender lyrics - Sam Cooke
oh yes, I'm the Great pretender
pretending I'm doing well
my need is such
I pretend too much
I'm lonely but no one can tell
oh yes, I'm the Great pretender
Adrift in a world of my own
I play the game
but to my real shame
You've left me to dream all alone
Too real is this feeling of make-belief
Too real when I feel what my heart can conceal
oh yes, I'm the Great pretender
just laughing and gay like a clown
I seem to be what I'm not, you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around
Too real is this feeling of make-belief
Too real when I feel what my heart can conceal
oh yes, I'm the Great pretender
just laughing and gay like a clown
I seem to be what I'm not, you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around
pretending I'm doing well
my need is such
I pretend too much
I'm lonely but no one can tell
oh yes, I'm the Great pretender
Adrift in a world of my own
I play the game
but to my real shame
You've left me to dream all alone
Too real is this feeling of make-belief
Too real when I feel what my heart can conceal
oh yes, I'm the Great pretender
just laughing and gay like a clown
I seem to be what I'm not, you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around
Too real is this feeling of make-belief
Too real when I feel what my heart can conceal
oh yes, I'm the Great pretender
just laughing and gay like a clown
I seem to be what I'm not, you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around
You, You, You lyrics - Sam Cooke
You, you. you
I'm in love with you, you, you
I could be so true, true, true
to someone like you, you, you
Do, do, do
what you ought to do, do, do
take me in your arms please do
let me cling to you, you, you
we were meant for each other
sure as heaven is above
To have, to hold and to love
You, you, you
There's no one like you, you, you
you could make my dreams come true
if you say you love me too
Do, do, do
what you ought to do, do, do
take me in your arms please do
let me cling to you, you, you
we were meant for each other

To have, to hold and to love
You, you, you
There's no one like you, you, you

if you say you love me too
Do, do, do

To have, to hold and to love
You, you, you
There's no one like you, you, you
you could make my dreams come true
if you say you love me too
you, you, you
I'm in love with you
Unchained Melody lyrics - Sam Cooke
O, my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch
a long lonely time
Times goes by so slowly
and time can do so much
are you still mine?
I need your love, I need your love
God speed your love to me
Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea
To the open of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh:
wait for me, wait for me
I'll be coming home, wait for me
O, my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch
a long lonely time
Times goes by so slowly
and time can do so much
are you still mine?
I need your love, I need your love
God speed your love to me
I've hungered for your touch
a long lonely time
Times goes by so slowly
and time can do so much
are you still mine?
I need your love, I need your love
God speed your love to me
Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea
To the open of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh:
wait for me, wait for me
I'll be coming home, wait for me
O, my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch
a long lonely time
Times goes by so slowly
and time can do so much
are you still mine?
I need your love, I need your love
God speed your love to me
The Wayward Wind lyrics - Sam Cooke
O, the wayward wind is a restless wind
Is a restless wind that yearns to wander
On the eye was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wind
And a lovely shack by a railroad track
I spent my younger days
and I guess the sound of the outward bound
made me a slave to my wandering days
and the wayward wind
O, the wayward wind is a restless wind
Is a restless wind that yearns to wander
On the eye was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wind
I met her there in a border town
We vowed we'd never part
though I tried my best to settle down
now she's alone with the broken heart
O, the wayward wind is a restless wind
Is a restless wind that yearns to wander
On the eye was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wind
Is a restless wind that yearns to wander
On the eye was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wind
And a lovely shack by a railroad track
I spent my younger days
and I guess the sound of the outward bound
made me a slave to my wandering days
and the wayward wind
O, the wayward wind is a restless wind
Is a restless wind that yearns to wander
On the eye was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wind
I met her there in a border town
We vowed we'd never part
though I tried my best to settle down
now she's alone with the broken heart
O, the wayward wind is a restless wind
Is a restless wind that yearns to wander
On the eye was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wind
Secret Love lyrics - Sam Cooke
Once I had a secret love
that lived within the heart of me
All too soon my secret love
became impatient to be free
So I told a friendly star
the way that dreamers often do
Just how wonderful you are
and why I'm so in love with you
Now I shouted from the highest hill
Even told the golden daffodils
At last my heart's an open door
And my secret love's no secret any more
At last my heart's an open door
And my secret love's no secret any more
that lived within the heart of me
All too soon my secret love
became impatient to be free
So I told a friendly star
the way that dreamers often do
Just how wonderful you are
and why I'm so in love with you
Now I shouted from the highest hill
Even told the golden daffodils
At last my heart's an open door
And my secret love's no secret any more
At last my heart's an open door
And my secret love's no secret any more
The Song From Moulin Rouge lyrics - Sam Cooke
Whenever you kiss
I worry and wonder
Your lips maybe near
but where is your heart
It's always like this
I worry and wonder
You're close to me here
but where is your heart
It's a sad thing to realize
that you have a heart that never melts
when we kiss do your close you eyes
pretending that I'm someone else
You must break the spell
this cloud that I'm under
So please won't you tell
darling where is your heart
It's a sad thing to realize
that you have a heart that never melts
when we kiss do your close you eyes
pretending that I'm someone else
You must break the spell
this cloud that I'm under
So please won't you tell
darling where is your heart
I worry and wonder
Your lips maybe near
but where is your heart
It's always like this
I worry and wonder
You're close to me here
but where is your heart
It's a sad thing to realize
that you have a heart that never melts
when we kiss do your close you eyes
pretending that I'm someone else
You must break the spell
this cloud that I'm under
So please won't you tell
darling where is your heart
It's a sad thing to realize
that you have a heart that never melts
when we kiss do your close you eyes
pretending that I'm someone else
You must break the spell
this cloud that I'm under
So please won't you tell
darling where is your heart
I'm Walking Behind You lyrics - Sam Cooke
I'm walking behind you
and I'll hear your promise
to love and obey
tough you may forget me
you're still on my mind
Look over your shoulder
I'm walking behind
Maybe I'll kiss again
with a love that's new
But I shall wish again
I was kissing you
'Cause I'll always love you
wherever you go
And tough we are parted
I wan't you to know
That if things go wrong dear
and faith is unkind
Look over your shoulder
I'm walking behind
and I'll hear your promise
to love and obey
tough you may forget me
you're still on my mind
Look over your shoulder
I'm walking behind
Maybe I'll kiss again
with a love that's new
But I shall wish again
I was kissing you
'Cause I'll always love you
wherever you go
And tough we are parted
I wan't you to know
That if things go wrong dear
and faith is unkind
Look over your shoulder
I'm walking behind
Cry lyrics - Sam Cooke
If your sweetheart, sends a letter, of goodbye
It's no secret, you'll feel better, if you cry
When waking from a bad dream,
don't you sometimes think it's real
Well it's only false emotions,
that you feel
If your heartaches seems to hang around too long
And your blues keep getting blue-er with each song
Remember, sunshine can be found behind a cloudy sky
So let your hair down and go on and cry
remember, sunshine can be found, behind a cloudy sky
so let your hair down and go on and cry
so let your hair down and go on and cry.
It's no secret, you'll feel better, if you cry
When waking from a bad dream,
don't you sometimes think it's real
Well it's only false emotions,
that you feel
If your heartaches seems to hang around too long
And your blues keep getting blue-er with each song
Remember, sunshine can be found behind a cloudy sky
So let your hair down and go on and cry
remember, sunshine can be found, behind a cloudy sky
so let your hair down and go on and cry
so let your hair down and go on and cry.
Venus lyrics - Sam Cooke
O Venus, hey Venus
make my dreams come true
Venus if you will
Send a little girl for me to thrill
A girl who wants my kisses and my arms
A girl with all the charms of you
Venus make her fair
a lovely girl with sunlight in her hair
and take the brightest stars up in the skies
And place them in her eyes for me
Venus, goddess of love that you are
Surely the things I ask can't be too great a task
Venus if you do, I promise that I always be true
I'll give her all the love I have to give
As long as we both shall love
O venus, O venus
make my dreams come true
O Venus
make my dreams come true
Venus if you will
Send a little girl for me to thrill
A girl who wants my kisses and my arms
A girl with all the charms of you
Venus make her fair
a lovely girl with sunlight in her hair
and take the brightest stars up in the skies
And place them in her eyes for me
Venus, goddess of love that you are
Surely the things I ask can't be too great a task
Venus if you do, I promise that I always be true
I'll give her all the love I have to give
As long as we both shall love
O venus, O venus
make my dreams come true
O Venus
Far Away Places lyrics - Sam Cooke
Far away places with strange sounding names
Far away places over the sea
Those far away places with strange sounding names
Are calling, calling me
Goin' to China, or maybe Siam
I wanna see for myself
Those far away places
I've been reading about
In a book that I took from a shelf
I start getting restless whenever I hear
the whistle of a train
I pray for the day I can get underway
And look for those castles in Spain
they call me a dreamer
well maybe I am
But I know that I'm burning to see
Those for away places with strange sounding names
calling, calling me
calling, calling me
Far away places over the sea
Those far away places with strange sounding names
Are calling, calling me
Goin' to China, or maybe Siam
I wanna see for myself
Those far away places
I've been reading about
In a book that I took from a shelf
I start getting restless whenever I hear
the whistle of a train
I pray for the day I can get underway
And look for those castles in Spain
they call me a dreamer
well maybe I am
But I know that I'm burning to see
Those for away places with strange sounding names
calling, calling me
calling, calling me
Under Paris Skies lyrics - Sam Cooke
Stranger beware
There's love in the air
Under Paris skies
Try to be smart
And don't let your heart catch on fire
Love becomes king
The moment it's spring
Under Paris skies
Lonely hearts meet
Somewhere on the street of desire
Parisian love can bloom
High in a skylight room
Or in a gay cafe where hundreds of people can see
I wasn't smart
And I lost my heart
Under Paris skies
Don't ever be a heartbroken stranger like me
Oh I fell in love
yes I was a fool
for Paris can be
so beautifully cruel
Paris is just a gay coquette
who longs to love and then regret
stranger beware there's love in the air
Just look and see what happened to me
Under Paris skies
watch what you do
the same thing can happen to you
There's love in the air
Under Paris skies
Try to be smart
And don't let your heart catch on fire
Love becomes king
The moment it's spring
Under Paris skies
Lonely hearts meet
Somewhere on the street of desire
Parisian love can bloom
High in a skylight room
Or in a gay cafe where hundreds of people can see
I wasn't smart
And I lost my heart
Under Paris skies
Don't ever be a heartbroken stranger like me
Oh I fell in love
yes I was a fool
for Paris can be
so beautifully cruel
Paris is just a gay coquette
who longs to love and then regret
stranger beware there's love in the air
Just look and see what happened to me
Under Paris skies
watch what you do
the same thing can happen to you
South Of The Border (Down Mexico Way) lyrics - Sam Cooke
Ai-ai-ai-ai
oh-oh-oh-oh
ai-ai-ai-ai
oh-oh-oh-oh
south of the border
down Mexico way
that's where I fell in love
when stars above came out to play
and now as I wonder
my thoughts ever stray
south of the border
down Mexico way
she was the picture
in old Spanish lace
just for a tender while
I kissed the smile
upon her face
for it was siesta
and we were so gay
south of the border
down Mexico way
then she sighed as she whispered manana
never dreaming that we were parting
and I lied as I whisperd manana
for our tomorrow never came
south of the border
I rode back one day
there in a veil of white by candlelight
she kneeled to pray
the missionbells told me
that I musn't stay
south of the border
down mexico way
Ai-ai-ai-ai
oh-oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh-oh
ai-ai-ai-ai
oh-oh-oh-oh
south of the border
down Mexico way
that's where I fell in love
when stars above came out to play
and now as I wonder
my thoughts ever stray
south of the border
down Mexico way
she was the picture
in old Spanish lace
just for a tender while
I kissed the smile
upon her face
for it was siesta
and we were so gay
south of the border
down Mexico way
then she sighed as she whispered manana
never dreaming that we were parting
and I lied as I whisperd manana
for our tomorrow never came
south of the border
I rode back one day
there in a veil of white by candlelight
she kneeled to pray
the missionbells told me
that I musn't stay
south of the border
down mexico way
Ai-ai-ai-ai
oh-oh-oh-oh
Bali Ha'i lyric s- Sam Cooke
Bali Ha'i may call you
any night, any day
In your heart you'll hear it call you
Come away, come away
Bali Ha'i will whisper
on the wind of the sea
Here am I your special island
Come to me, come to me
Your own special hopes
your own special dreams
Bloom on the hillside
and shine in the streets
If you try you'll find me
where the sky meets the sea
Here am I your special island
come to me, come to me
Bali Ha'i, Bali Ha'i, Bali Ha'i
If you try you'll find me
where the sky meets the sea
here am I your special island
Come to me, come to me
Bali Ha'i, Bali Ha'i, Bali Ha'i
any night, any day
In your heart you'll hear it call you
Come away, come away
Bali Ha'i will whisper
on the wind of the sea
Here am I your special island
Come to me, come to me
Your own special hopes
your own special dreams
Bloom on the hillside
and shine in the streets
If you try you'll find me
where the sky meets the sea
Here am I your special island
come to me, come to me
Bali Ha'i, Bali Ha'i, Bali Ha'i
If you try you'll find me
where the sky meets the sea
here am I your special island
Come to me, come to me
Bali Ha'i, Bali Ha'i, Bali Ha'i
The Coffee Song (They've Got An Awful Lot Of Coffee In Brazil) lyrics - Sam Cooke
Way down among the Brazilians,
Coffee beans grow by the billions,
So they've got to find those extra cups to fill,
They've got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil.
You can't get cherry soda,
'Cause they've got to sell their quota,
And the way things are I guess they never will,
They've got a zillion tons of coffee in Brazil,
No tea or tomato juice,
You'll see no potato juice,
'Cause the planters down in Santos all say No! No! No!
A politician's daughter,
Was accused of drinking water,
And was fined a great big fifty dollar bill,
They've got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil.
A politician's daughter,
Was accused of drinking water,
And was fined a great big fifty dollar bill,
They've got an awful lot of coffee, a zillion tons of coffee in Brazil.

Arrivederci, Roma (Goodbye To Rome) lyrics - Sam Cooke
Arrivederci Roma,
Goodbye, goodbye to Rome
City of a million moonlit places
City of a million warm embraces
Where I found the one of all the faces
Far from home
Arrivederci Roma
It's time for us to part
Save the wedding bells for my returning
Keep my lover's arms outstretched and yearning
Please be sure the flame of love keeps burning in her heart
City of a million moonlit places
City of a million warm embraces
Where I found the one of all the faces
Far from home
Arrivederci Roma
It's time for us to part
Save the wedding bells for my returning
Keep my lover's arms outstretched and yearning
Please be sure the flame of love keeps burning in her heart
Arrivederci roma,
Roma, roma, roma
Goodbye, goodbye to Rome

Keep my lover's arms outstretched and yearning
Please be sure the flame of love keeps burning in her heart

Save the wedding bells for my returning
Keep my lover's arms outstretched and yearning
Please be sure the flame of love keeps burning in her heart
Arrivederci roma,
Roma, roma, roma
London By Night lyrics - Sam Cooke
London by night is a wonderful sight
there is magic a brawl in the air
I'm often told that the street turn to gold
when the moon shines on circus and square
deep in the dark that envelops the park
there's a man and his cigarette's low
down by the Thames, lights that sparkle like gems
seem to wink at each girl and her boy
up comes the moon when the city's asleep
he's not alone for it sings
somewhere up there stands an angel to keep her watch
while each Londener dreams
my love and I saw the sun leave the sky
then we kissed in the fast fading light
most people say they love London by day
but lovers love London by night
most people they love London by day
but lovers love London by night
there is magic a brawl in the air
I'm often told that the street turn to gold
when the moon shines on circus and square
deep in the dark that envelops the park
there's a man and his cigarette's low
down by the Thames, lights that sparkle like gems
seem to wink at each girl and her boy
up comes the moon when the city's asleep
he's not alone for it sings
somewhere up there stands an angel to keep her watch
while each Londener dreams
my love and I saw the sun leave the sky
then we kissed in the fast fading light
most people say they love London by day
but lovers love London by night
most people they love London by day
but lovers love London by night
Jamaica Farewell lyrics - Sam Cooke
Down the way where the night are gay
And the sun shines dearly on the mountain top
I took a trip on a sailing ship
And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop
But I’m sad to say I’m on my way
I won’t be back for many a day
My heart is down, my heart is turning around
I had to leave a girl in Kingston Town
Sounds of laughter everywhere
And the dancing girls swing to and fro
I must declare my love to is there
Tough I’ve from Maine to Mexico
But I’m sad to say I’m on my way
I won’t be back for many a day
My heart is down, my heart is turning around
I had to leave a girl in Kingston Town
Down at the market you can hear
Ladies crying out while on their heads they bear
Ackee rice, salt fish on ice and
the rum is fine any time of year
But I’m sad to say I’m on my way
I won’t be back for many a day
My heart is down, my heart is turning around
I had to leave a girl in Kingston Town
But I’m sad to say I’m on my way
I won’t be back for many a day
My heart is down, my heart is turning around
I had to leave a girl in Kingston Town
And the sun shines dearly on the mountain top
I took a trip on a sailing ship
And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop
But I’m sad to say I’m on my way
I won’t be back for many a day
My heart is down, my heart is turning around
I had to leave a girl in Kingston Town
Sounds of laughter everywhere
And the dancing girls swing to and fro
I must declare my love to is there
Tough I’ve from Maine to Mexico
But I’m sad to say I’m on my way
I won’t be back for many a day
My heart is down, my heart is turning around
I had to leave a girl in Kingston Town
Down at the market you can hear
Ladies crying out while on their heads they bear
Ackee rice, salt fish on ice and
the rum is fine any time of year
But I’m sad to say I’m on my way
I won’t be back for many a day
My heart is down, my heart is turning around
I had to leave a girl in Kingston Town
But I’m sad to say I’m on my way
I won’t be back for many a day
My heart is down, my heart is turning around
I had to leave a girl in Kingston Town
Galway Bay lyrics - Sam Cooke
If you ever go across the seas to Ireland
Then maybe at the closing of your day
You will sit and watch the moonrise over Claddagh
And see the sun go down on Galway Bay
To hear again the ripple of the trout stream
The women in the meadows making hay
To sit beside the turf fire in the cabin
And watch the barefoot goosoons at their play
For the strangers came and tried to teach us their ways
They scorned us just for being what we are
But they might as well go chasing after moonbeams
Or light a penny candle from a star
And if there's going to be a life hereafter
And somehow I am sure there's going to be
I will ask my God to let me make my heaven
In that dear land across the Irish Sea
Then maybe at the closing of your day
You will sit and watch the moonrise over Claddagh
And see the sun go down on Galway Bay
To hear again the ripple of the trout stream
The women in the meadows making hay
To sit beside the turf fire in the cabin
And watch the barefoot goosoons at their play
For the strangers came and tried to teach us their ways
They scorned us just for being what we are
But they might as well go chasing after moonbeams
Or light a penny candle from a star
And if there's going to be a life hereafter
And somehow I am sure there's going to be
I will ask my God to let me make my heaven
In that dear land across the Irish Sea
Sweet Leilani lyrics - Sam Cooke
Sweet Leilani
Heavenly flower
Nature fashioned roses kissed with dew
And then she placed them in a bower
It was the start of you.
Sweet Leilani
Heavenly flower
I dreamed of paradise for two.
You are my paradise completed.
You are my dream come true.
Sweet Leilani
Heavenly flower
I dreamed of paradise for two.
You are my paradise completed.
You are my dream come true.
You are my paradise completed.
You are my dream come true.
Heavenly flower
Nature fashioned roses kissed with dew
And then she placed them in a bower
It was the start of you.
Sweet Leilani
Heavenly flower
I dreamed of paradise for two.
You are my paradise completed.
You are my dream come true.
Sweet Leilani
Heavenly flower
I dreamed of paradise for two.
You are my paradise completed.
You are my dream come true.
You are my paradise completed.
You are my dream come true.
The Japanese Farewell Song lyrics - Sam Cooke
The time has come for us to say sayonara
my heart will always be yours for eternity
I knew some time we'd have to say sayonara
please promise that you'll be returning someday to me
I'll remember our romance until the day that I die
I'll see your face in the moon and stars in the sky
so, hold me close before you say sayonara
and promise that you'll always keep me near to your heart
I'll remember our romance until the day that I die
I'll see your face in the moon and stars in the sky
so, hold me close before you say sayonara
and promise that you'll always keep me near to your heart
always keep me near to your heart
my heart will always be yours for eternity
I knew some time we'd have to say sayonara
please promise that you'll be returning someday to me
I'll remember our romance until the day that I die
I'll see your face in the moon and stars in the sky
so, hold me close before you say sayonara
and promise that you'll always keep me near to your heart
I'll remember our romance until the day that I die
I'll see your face in the moon and stars in the sky
so, hold me close before you say sayonara
and promise that you'll always keep me near to your heart
always keep me near to your heart
The House I Live In lyrics - Sam Cooke
the house I live in
a plot of earth, a street
the grocer and the butcher
and the people that I meet
the children in the playground
the faces that I see
all races, all religions
that's a miracle to me
the place I work in
the worker at my side
the little town or city
where my people lived and died
the howdie and the handshake
the air of feeling free
the right to speak my mind out
that's a miracle to me
the things I see about me
the big things and the small
the little corner newsstand
and the howls a mile tall
the wedding in the churchyard
the laughter and the tears
the dream that's been a-growing for a 150 year
the town I live in
the street, the house, the room
the pavement of the city
are a garden all in bloom
the church the school the clubhouse
the million lights I see
but especially the people
that's a miracle to me
a plot of earth, a street
the grocer and the butcher
and the people that I meet
the children in the playground
the faces that I see
all races, all religions
that's a miracle to me
the place I work in
the worker at my side
the little town or city
where my people lived and died
the howdie and the handshake
the air of feeling free
the right to speak my mind out
that's a miracle to me
the things I see about me
the big things and the small
the little corner newsstand
and the howls a mile tall
the wedding in the churchyard
the laughter and the tears
the dream that's been a-growing for a 150 year
the town I live in
the street, the house, the room
the pavement of the city
are a garden all in bloom
the church the school the clubhouse
the million lights I see
but especially the people
that's a miracle to me
God Bless The Child lyrics - Sam Cooke
God bless the child, the child that's got his own
Them that's got shall get
them that's not you lose
So the bible says and it still is news
mama may have, papa may have
but God bless the child that got it's own
God bless the child that got it's 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 got it's own
God bless the child that got it's own
When you've got money
you've got lots of friends
Crowding round the door
When it's gone spending ends
They don't come no more
Which 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 got it's own
God bless the child that got it's own
Them that's got shall get
them that's not you lose
So the bible says and it still is news
mama may have, papa may have
but God bless the child that got it's own
God bless the child that got it's 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 got it's own
God bless the child that got it's own
When you've got money
you've got lots of friends
Crowding round the door
When it's gone spending ends
They don't come no more
Which 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 got it's own
God bless the child that got it's own
She's Funny That Way lyrics - Sam Cooke
Not much to look at, nothing to see
I'm glad I'm living, and I'm lucky to be
But I got a woman crazy 'bout me
She's funny that way
ain't got a dollar, can't save a cent
She never holler, she'd live in a tent
I've got that woman mad about me
She's funny that way
Though she loves to work and slave for me every day
She'd be so much better off if I went away
But why should I leave her?, Why should I go?
She'd be unhappy without me I know
I've got that woman crazy 'bout me
She's funny that way
I've got that woman mad about me
she's funny that way
I'm glad I'm living, and I'm lucky to be
But I got a woman crazy 'bout me
She's funny that way
ain't got a dollar, can't save a cent
She never holler, she'd live in a tent
I've got that woman mad about me
She's funny that way
Though she loves to work and slave for me every day
She'd be so much better off if I went away
But why should I leave her?, Why should I go?
She'd be unhappy without me I know
I've got that woman crazy 'bout me
She's funny that way
I've got that woman mad about me
she's funny that way
I've Got A Right To Sing The Blues lyrics - Sam Cooke
I've got a right to sing the blues,
got the right to moan and sigh
I've got a right to sit and cry
down along the river
A certain girl in this old town
keeps dragging my heart around
All I see for me is misery
I've got the right to sing the blues
got the right to moan and cry
I've got a right to sit and cry
down along the river
Call it love say what you choose
I've got a right to sing the blues
I've got a right, got a right,
got a right to sing the blues
got the right to moan and sigh
got a right to sit and cry
down along the river
Soon that deep blue sea
is gonna be calling me
Call it love, say what you choose
I've got a right to sing the blues
the blues, the blues, the blues
I've got a right to sing the blues
got the right to moan and sigh
I've got a right to sit and cry
down along the river
A certain girl in this old town
keeps dragging my heart around
All I see for me is misery
I've got the right to sing the blues
got the right to moan and cry
I've got a right to sit and cry
down along the river
Call it love say what you choose
I've got a right to sing the blues
I've got a right, got a right,
got a right to sing the blues
got the right to moan and sigh
got a right to sit and cry
down along the river
Soon that deep blue sea
is gonna be calling me
Call it love, say what you choose
I've got a right to sing the blues
the blues, the blues, the blues
I've got a right to sing the blues
Good Morning, Heartache lyrics - Sam Cooke
Good morning heartache
you ole gloomy sight
Good morning heartache
thought we said goodbye last night
I turned and tossed until it seemed you were gone
Now here you are with the dawn
Wish I'd forget you but you're here to stay
It seems I met you when my love went away
Now everyday I start by daying to you
Good morning heartache, what's new
Stop haunting me now
can't shake you, know how
just leave me alone
I've got the Monday blues
straight through Sunday blues
Good morning heartache
Here we go again
Good morning heartache
you're the one who knew me when
Might as well get used to you hanging around
Good morning heartache, sit down
you ole gloomy sight
Good morning heartache
thought we said goodbye last night
I turned and tossed until it seemed you were gone
Now here you are with the dawn
Wish I'd forget you but you're here to stay
It seems I met you when my love went away
Now everyday I start by daying to you
Good morning heartache, what's new
Stop haunting me now
can't shake you, know how
just leave me alone
I've got the Monday blues
straight through Sunday blues
Good morning heartache
Here we go again
Good morning heartache
you're the one who knew me when
Might as well get used to you hanging around
Good morning heartache, sit down
T' Aint Nobody's Bizness (If I Do) lyrics - Sam Cooke
There ain't nothing I can do
or nothing I can say
Just what I want to anyway
And I don't care just what people may say
And if I, if I take a notion
the jump-off into the ocean
Ain't nobody's bizness if I do
And if I go to church on sunday
then cabaret all day monday
It ain't nobody's bizness if I do
if my baby ain't got no money
and I say take all of mine honey
Ain't nobody's bizness if I do
If I give my baby my last nickle, O
and it leaves me, leaves me in a pickle
it ain't nobody's bizness if I do
I'd rather from my baby to hit me
then to jump off and quit me
Ain't nobody's bizness if I do
Nobody's bizness if I do
or nothing I can say
Just what I want to anyway
And I don't care just what people may say
And if I, if I take a notion
the jump-off into the ocean
Ain't nobody's bizness if I do
And if I go to church on sunday
then cabaret all day monday
It ain't nobody's bizness if I do
if my baby ain't got no money
and I say take all of mine honey
Ain't nobody's bizness if I do
If I give my baby my last nickle, O
and it leaves me, leaves me in a pickle
it ain't nobody's bizness if I do
I'd rather from my baby to hit me
then to jump off and quit me
Ain't nobody's bizness if I do
Nobody's bizness if I do
Comes Love lyrics - Sam Cooke
Come a rain storm put your rubbers on your feet
Comes a snow storm you can get a little heat
Comes love nothing can be done
Comes a fire then you know just what to do
Blow a tire You can buy another shoe
Comes love nothing can be done
Don’t try hidin?
'Cause there isn’t any use
You’ll start slidin?
When your heart turns on the juice
Comes a headache you can lose it in a day
Comes a toothache see the dentist right away
Comes love nothing can be done!
Comes a heat wave you can hurry to the shore
Comes a summons you can hide behind the door
Comes love Nothing can be done
Comes the measles you can quarantine the room
Comes a mousie you can chase it with a broom
Comes love nothing can be done
That’s all brother
If you’ve ever been in love
That’s all brother
You know what I’m speaking of!
Comes a nightmare you can always stay awake
Comes depression you may get another break
Comes love nothing can be done!
Comes a snow storm you can get a little heat
Comes love nothing can be done
Comes a fire then you know just what to do
Blow a tire You can buy another shoe
Comes love nothing can be done
Don’t try hidin?
'Cause there isn’t any use
You’ll start slidin?
When your heart turns on the juice
Comes a headache you can lose it in a day
Comes a toothache see the dentist right away
Comes love nothing can be done!
Comes a heat wave you can hurry to the shore
Comes a summons you can hide behind the door
Comes love Nothing can be done
Comes the measles you can quarantine the room
Comes a mousie you can chase it with a broom
Comes love nothing can be done
That’s all brother
If you’ve ever been in love
That’s all brother
You know what I’m speaking of!
Comes a nightmare you can always stay awake
Comes depression you may get another break
Comes love nothing can be done!
Lover Girl lyrics - Sam Cooke
I don't know why
but I'm feeling so sad
I long to try something
I've never had
Never had no kissin', o
what I've been missing
Lover girl, o where can you be
The night is cold
and I'm so all alone
I'd give my soul
just to call my own
got a moon above me
but no one to love
Lover girl, o where can you be
I've heard it said
that the thrill of romance
Can be like a heavenly dream
I go to bed with a pruger?
that you make love to me
Strange as it seems
someday we'll meet
and you dry all my tears
then whisper sweet little things in my ear
Hugging and kissing
oh what we've been missing
Lover girl, o where can you be
Lover girl, o where can you be
but I'm feeling so sad
I long to try something
I've never had
Never had no kissin', o
what I've been missing
Lover girl, o where can you be
The night is cold
and I'm so all alone
I'd give my soul
just to call my own
got a moon above me
but no one to love
Lover girl, o where can you be
I've heard it said
that the thrill of romance
Can be like a heavenly dream
I go to bed with a pruger?
that you make love to me
Strange as it seems
someday we'll meet
and you dry all my tears
then whisper sweet little things in my ear
Hugging and kissing
oh what we've been missing
Lover girl, o where can you be
Lover girl, o where can you be
Let's Call The Whole Thing Off lyrics - Sam Cooke
(originally by Fred Astaire)
You say either, I say either
You say neither, I say neither
either, either
neither, neither
Let's call the whole thing off
You like potatoes, I like potatoes
You like tomatoes, I like tomatoes
Potatoes, potatoes
tomatoes, tomatoes
Let's call the whole thing off
And if we call the whole thing off
Then we must part
And if we ever part
that might break my heart
You wear pajamas, I wear pajamas
I wear pajamas and give up pajamas
And for we know we need each other so
We better call the calling off off
Better call the whole thing off
And if we call the whole thing off
Then we must part
And if we ever part
that might break my heart
If you like oysters, I like oysters
I order oyster and cancel the oyster
And for we know we need each other so
We better call the calling off off
Better call the whole thing off
You say either, I say either
You say neither, I say neither
either, either
neither, neither
Let's call the whole thing off
You like potatoes, I like potatoes
You like tomatoes, I like tomatoes
Potatoes, potatoes
tomatoes, tomatoes
Let's call the whole thing off
And if we call the whole thing off
Then we must part
And if we ever part
that might break my heart
You wear pajamas, I wear pajamas
I wear pajamas and give up pajamas
And for we know we need each other so
We better call the calling off off
Better call the whole thing off
And if we call the whole thing off
Then we must part
And if we ever part
that might break my heart
If you like oysters, I like oysters
I order oyster and cancel the oyster
And for we know we need each other so
We better call the calling off off
Better call the whole thing off
Lover, Come Back To Me lyrics - Sam Cooke
The sky was blue and high above
The moon was new, and so was love
The eager heart of mine was singing
Lover, lover where can you be
You came at last, love had his day
That day is past, you gone away
This aching heart of mine is singing
Lover, lover come back to me
When I remember every thing you used to do
I’m so lonely
Every road I walk along
I walk along with you
No wonder, no wonder, I am lonely
The sky is blue, the night is cold
The moon is new, but love is old
And while I’m waiting here
This heart of mine is singing
Lover, lover come back to me
Lover, lover come back to me
Lover, lover come back to me
The moon was new, and so was love
The eager heart of mine was singing
Lover, lover where can you be
You came at last, love had his day
That day is past, you gone away
This aching heart of mine is singing
Lover, lover come back to me
When I remember every thing you used to do
I’m so lonely
Every road I walk along
I walk along with you
No wonder, no wonder, I am lonely
The sky is blue, the night is cold
The moon is new, but love is old
And while I’m waiting here
This heart of mine is singing
Lover, lover come back to me
Lover, lover come back to me
Lover, lover come back to me
Solitude lyrics - Sam Cooke
In my solitude you haunt me
with memories of days gone by
In my solitude you taunt me
with memories that never die
I sit in my chair, I feel despair
No one can be so sad
With gloom everywhere
I sit and I stare
I know that I'll soon go mad
In my solitude I pray
dear Lord above send back my love
with memories of days gone by
In my solitude you taunt me
with memories that never die
I sit in my chair, I feel despair
No one can be so sad
With gloom everywhere
I sit and I stare
I know that I'll soon go mad
In my solitude I pray
dear Lord above send back my love
They Can't Take That Away From Me lyrics - Sam Cooke
(originally by Fred Astaire)
The way you wear your hat
The way you sip your tea
The memory of all that
They can't take that away from me
The way your smile just beams
The way you sing off-key
The way your haunt my dreams
They can't take that away from me
We may never, never meet again
On the bumpy road to love
But I'll always, always keep the memory of
But I'll always, always keep the memory of
The way you hold your knife
The way we dance 'til three
The way you changed my life
No, they can't take that away from me
No, they can't take that away from me
The way you wear your hat
The way you sip your tea
The memory of all that
They can't take that away from me
The way your smile just beams
The way you sing off-key
The way your haunt my dreams
They can't take that away from me
We may never, never meet again
On the bumpy road to love
But I'll always, always keep the memory of
But I'll always, always keep the memory of
The way you hold your knife
The way we dance 'til three
The way you changed my life
No, they can't take that away from me
No, they can't take that away from me
Crazy In Love With You lyrics - Sam Cooke
I say I'll move the mountains
and I'll move the mountains
if she wants them out of the way
crazy she calls me
sure I'm crazy
crazy in love I say
I say I'll go through fire
and I'll go through fire
as she wants it so it shall be
crazy she calls me
sure I'm crazy
crazy in love you see
like the winds shakes the bows
she moves me with a smile
the difficult I'll do right now
the impossible will take a little while
I say I care forever and I care forever
If I have to hold up the sky
crazy she calls me
sure I'm crazy
crazy in love am I
[background singers]
I say I care forever and I'll care forever
If I have to hold up the sky
crazy she calls me
sure I'm crazy
crazy in love am I
and I'll move the mountains
if she wants them out of the way
crazy she calls me
sure I'm crazy
crazy in love I say
I say I'll go through fire
and I'll go through fire
as she wants it so it shall be
crazy she calls me

she moves me with a smile
the difficult I'll do right now
the impossible will take a little while
I say I care forever and I care forever
If I have to hold up the sky

sure I'm crazy
crazy in love am I
[background singers]
I say I care forever and I'll care forever
If I have to hold up the sky
crazy she calls me
sure I'm crazy
crazy in love am I
Oh, Look At Me Now lyrics - Sam Cooke
I never cared for simple things like love
June and old place
may face was terribly blank
Two things concerning l'amour
I'm really, really not for sure
For I'm not the guy who kid about love
For I'm not the guy who kid about fortunes and such
Never cared much, but, Oh look at me now
I never knew the technique of kissing
I never knew the thrill I could get from your touch
Never cared much, but, Oh look at me now
I'm a new man, better than Cassanova at his best
With a new heart a brand new start
I'm so proud I'm busting my best
So I'm a guy who turned out a lover
So I'm guy who laughed at those blue diamond rings
One of those things
Never cared much, but, Oh look at me now
I'm a new man, better than Cassanova at his best
With a new heart a brand new start
I'm so proud I'm busting my best
So I'm a guy who turned out a lover
So I'm guy who laughed at those blue diamond rings
One of those things
Never cared much, but, Oh look at me now
June and old place
may face was terribly blank
Two things concerning l'amour
I'm really, really not for sure
For I'm not the guy who kid about love
For I'm not the guy who kid about fortunes and such
Never cared much, but, Oh look at me now
I never knew the technique of kissing
I never knew the thrill I could get from your touch
Never cared much, but, Oh look at me now
I'm a new man, better than Cassanova at his best
With a new heart a brand new start
I'm so proud I'm busting my best
So I'm a guy who turned out a lover
So I'm guy who laughed at those blue diamond rings
One of those things
Never cared much, but, Oh look at me now
I'm a new man, better than Cassanova at his best
With a new heart a brand new start
I'm so proud I'm busting my best
So I'm a guy who turned out a lover
So I'm guy who laughed at those blue diamond rings
One of those things
Never cared much, but, Oh look at me now
Someday lyrics - Sam Cooke
I know that someday you want me to want you
When I'm in love with somebody new
You expect me to be true
and to keep on loving you
Although I am blue,
you think I can't forget you
Although you don't want to meet now
I'll get along somehow
And I won't want you
When I'm in love with somebody new
You expect me to be true
and to keep on loving you
Although I am blue,
you think I can't forget you
Although you don't want to meet now
I'll get along somehow
And I won't want you
Along The Navaho Trail lyrics - Sam Cooke
Every day a lullabout evening
When the sunlights beginning to fail
I ride through the slumbering shadows
Along the Navajo Trail
When it's night and crickets are calling
And coyotes are making a wail
I dream by a smouldering fire
Along the Navajo Trail
[part 3]
When the wind is strumming a sage-brushed guitar
And over yonder hill the moon is climbing
It always finds me whistling on a star
What do you know it's morning already
There's the dawning, so silver and pale
It's time to climb in my saddle
I want to ride the Navajo Trail
I love the lie and listen to all the music
[repeat part 3]
I want to ride the Navajo Trail
with fellows like Maverick and Cheyenne,
the Indians and their bow and arrows
the boys and guns and love to travel
along the Navajo Trail
When the sunlights beginning to fail
I ride through the slumbering shadows
Along the Navajo Trail
When it's night and crickets are calling
And coyotes are making a wail
I dream by a smouldering fire
Along the Navajo Trail
[part 3]
When the wind is strumming a sage-brushed guitar
And over yonder hill the moon is climbing
It always finds me whistling on a star
What do you know it's morning already
There's the dawning, so silver and pale
It's time to climb in my saddle
I want to ride the Navajo Trail
I love the lie and listen to all the music
[repeat part 3]
I want to ride the Navajo Trail
with fellows like Maverick and Cheyenne,
the Indians and their bow and arrows
the boys and guns and love to travel
along the Navajo Trail
Running Wild lyrics - Sam Cooke
No girl will ever make a fool of me
No girl, I mean just what I say
I'm not the simpleton I used to be
Wonder how I got that way
I'm running wild, I've lost control
Running wild, mighty bold
Feeling gay, reckless too
Every mile all the time, never blue
Always going don't go there
Always showing I don't care
Don't love nobody, it's not worthwhile
I'm all alone, running wild
[repeat verse]
No girl, I mean just what I say
I'm not the simpleton I used to be
Wonder how I got that way
I'm running wild, I've lost control
Running wild, mighty bold
Feeling gay, reckless too
Every mile all the time, never blue
Always going don't go there
Always showing I don't care
Don't love nobody, it's not worthwhile
I'm all alone, running wild
[repeat verse]
Accentuate The Positive lyrics - Sam Cooke
You've got to accentuate the positive
eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
But don't mess with mister inbetween
You've got to spread joy up to the maximum
Bring gloom down to the minimum
have faith, a pandemonium
Libel to walk up on the scene
To illustrate my last remark
Jonah in the Whale, Noah in the ark
What did they do
just when everything looked so dark
They said we better
accentuate the positive
eliminate the negative
latch on to the affirmative
But don't mess with mister inbetween
[One more Time]
To illustrate my last remark
Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
What did they do
just when everything looked so dark
don't mess, don't mess, don't mess
with mister inbetween
[this verse twice]
eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
But don't mess with mister inbetween
You've got to spread joy up to the maximum
Bring gloom down to the minimum
have faith, a pandemonium
Libel to walk up on the scene
To illustrate my last remark
Jonah in the Whale, Noah in the ark
What did they do
just when everything looked so dark
They said we better
accentuate the positive
eliminate the negative
latch on to the affirmative
But don't mess with mister inbetween
[One more Time]
To illustrate my last remark
Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
What did they do
just when everything looked so dark
don't mess, don't mess, don't mess
with mister inbetween
[this verse twice]
Mary, Mary Lou lyrics - Sam Cooke
Mary, Mary Lou
Why must you do
The things that you always do
Honey, I've been here a-crying
Sipping and a-sighing
To think it's all because of you
I know the other night you told me
You were gonna marry
Someone who's in love with you, yeah
And the time I used to
be your golden rooster
But now I can see that we are through
Mary, Mary, Mary Lou
What in the world is the matter with you
You're always doing me so wrong
Mary, Mary, Mary Lou
What in the world is the matter with you
And know you want to say so long
Mary, Mary Lou
Why must you do
Those things that you always do
I can hear a-crying
Sipping and a-sighing
To think it's all because of you
You were gonna marry
Someone who's in love with you, yeah
And the time I used to
be your golden rooster
But now I can see that we are through
Mary, Mary, Mary Lou
What in the world is the matter with you
You're always doing me so wrong
Mary, Mary, Mary Lou
What in the world is the matter with you
And knew you want to say so long
Mary, Mary, Mary Lou
What in the world is the matter with you
Mary, Mary, Mary Lou
What in the world is the matter with you
When I Fall In Love lyrics - Sam Cooke
Maybe I'm old fashioned, feeling as I do
Maybe I am living in the past
But when I meet the right one
I know that I'll be true
My first love will be the last
When I fall in love it will be forever
Or I'll never fall in love
In a restless world like this is
Love is ended before it began
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun
When I give my heart it will be completely
Or I'll never, never, never give my heart
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I give my heart to you
Maybe I am living in the past
But when I meet the right one
I know that I'll be true
My first love will be the last
When I fall in love it will be forever
Or I'll never fall in love
In a restless world like this is
Love is ended before it began
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun
When I give my heart it will be completely
Or I'll never, never, never give my heart
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I give my heart to you
I Cover The Waterfront lyrics - Sam Cooke
I cover the waterfront
I’m watching to see
Will the one I love, soon come back to me
I cover the waterfront
I search of my love
And I’m guided by the starlit sky above
Here am I, patiently waiting
Hoping and longing O, how I yearn
Where are you, are you forgetting
Do you remember, will you return
I cover the waterfront
I’m watching to see
Will the one I love, soon come back to me
I cover the waterfront
I’m watching to see
Will the one I love, soon come back to me
I cover the waterfront
I search of my love
And I’m guided by the starlit sky above
Here am I, patiently waiting
Hoping and longing O, how I yearn
Where are you, are you forgetting
Do you remember, will you return
I cover the waterfront
I’m watching to see
Will the one I love, soon come back to me
Here am I, patiently waiting
Hoping and longing O, how I yearn
Where are you, are you forgetting
Do you remember, will you return
I cover the waterfront
I’m watching to see
Will the one I love, soon come back to me
I cover the waterfront
I search of my love
And I’m guided by the starlit sky above
Here am I, patiently waiting
Hoping and longing O, how I yearn
Where are you, are you forgetting
Do you remember, will you return
I cover the waterfront
I’m watching to see
Will the one I love, soon come back to me
I cover the waterfront
I’m watching to see
Will the one I love, soon come back to me
I cover the waterfront
I search of my love
And I’m guided by the starlit sky above
Here am I, patiently waiting
Hoping and longing O, how I yearn
Where are you, are you forgetting
Do you remember, will you return

I’m watching to see
Will the one I love, soon come back to me
Here am I, patiently waiting
Hoping and longing O, how I yearn
Where are you, are you forgetting
Do you remember, will you return
I cover the waterfront
My Foolish Heart lyrics - Sam Cooke
The night is like a lovely tune
beware my foolish heart
How wise the ever constant moon
take care my foolish heart
There's a line between love and fascination
that's hard to see on an evening such as this
For they both give the very same sensation
when you're lost in the magic of a kiss
her lips are much too close to mine
beware my foolish heart
But should her eager lips meet mine
then let the fire start
For this time it isn't fascination
Nor a dream that will fade and fall apart
It's love, this time it's love
my foolish heart
beware my foolish heart
How wise the ever constant moon
take care my foolish heart
There's a line between love and fascination
that's hard to see on an evening such as this
For they both give the very same sensation
when you're lost in the magic of a kiss
her lips are much too close to mine
beware my foolish heart
But should her eager lips meet mine
then let the fire start
For this time it isn't fascination
Nor a dream that will fade and fall apart
It's love, this time it's love
my foolish heart
Today I Sing The Blues lyrics - Sam Cooke
Without a warning
the blues walked in this morning
And circled round my lonely room
I didn't know why I had
that sad and lonely feeling
'till my baby called and said it's through
Yesterday I sang a love song
but today I sing the blues
I know the explanation
but that's no constellation
No matter how your love
you can lose
and since I lost
I rather walk around and worry
I guess I've walked the darkest avenue
Yesterday I sang a love song
but today I sing the blues
Now it strikes me kind of funny
how life can be this way
We were lovers last night honey
but not in love today
Now it strikes me kind of funny
how faith can be unfair
it seems that I'm the one
to lose in every love affair
Yes it must be written for me
That I should be the one to always lose
Yesterday I sang a love song
but today I sing the blues
Now it strikes me kind of funny
how life can be this way
We were lovers last night honey
but not in love today
Now it strikes me kind of funny
how faith can be unfair
it seems that I'm the one
to lose in every love affair
Yes it must be written for me
That I should be the one to always lose
Yesterday I sang a love song
but today I sing the blues
the blues walked in this morning
And circled round my lonely room
I didn't know why I had
that sad and lonely feeling
'till my baby called and said it's through
Yesterday I sang a love song
but today I sing the blues
I know the explanation
but that's no constellation
No matter how your love
you can lose
and since I lost
I rather walk around and worry
I guess I've walked the darkest avenue
Yesterday I sang a love song
but today I sing the blues
Now it strikes me kind of funny
how life can be this way
We were lovers last night honey
but not in love today
Now it strikes me kind of funny
how faith can be unfair
it seems that I'm the one
to lose in every love affair
Yes it must be written for me
That I should be the one to always lose
Yesterday I sang a love song
but today I sing the blues
Now it strikes me kind of funny
how life can be this way
We were lovers last night honey
but not in love today
Now it strikes me kind of funny
how faith can be unfair
it seems that I'm the one
to lose in every love affair
Yes it must be written for me
That I should be the one to always lose
Yesterday I sang a love song
but today I sing the blues
The Gypsy lyrics - Sam Cooke
In a quaint caravan there's a lady they call the gypsy
She can look in the future and drive away all your fears
Everyone of your fears
Everything will come right if you'll only believe the gypsy
She could tell at a glance that my heart was so full of tears
She looked in my hand and told me my love was always true
But yet in my hearts I knew dear somebody else was kissing you
But I'll go there again cause I want to believe the gypsy
That my lover is true and will come back to me someday
She looked in my hand and told me my love was always true
But yet in my hearts I knew dear somebody else was kissing you
But I'll go there again cause I want to believe the gypsy
That my lover is true and will come back to me someday
She can look in the future and drive away all your fears
Everyone of your fears
Everything will come right if you'll only believe the gypsy
She could tell at a glance that my heart was so full of tears
She looked in my hand and told me my love was always true
But yet in my hearts I knew dear somebody else was kissing you
But I'll go there again cause I want to believe the gypsy
That my lover is true and will come back to me someday
She looked in my hand and told me my love was always true
But yet in my hearts I knew dear somebody else was kissing you
But I'll go there again cause I want to believe the gypsy
That my lover is true and will come back to me someday
It's The Talk Of The Town lyrics - Sam Cooke
I can't show my face,
can't go any place
People stop and stare
it's hard to bare
Everybody knows you left me
you left me
It's the talk of the town
Every time we meet
my heart skips a beat
We don't stop to speak
tough it's been a week
It's the talk of the town
We send our invitations
to friends and relations
Announcing our wedding day
Friends and relations
send congratulations
How can I face them
What can I say
Let's make up sweetheart
we can't stay apart
Don't let foolish pride
keep you from my side
How can a love like ours be ending
It's the talk of the town
can't go any place
People stop and stare
it's hard to bare
Everybody knows you left me
you left me
It's the talk of the town
Every time we meet
my heart skips a beat
We don't stop to speak
tough it's been a week
It's the talk of the town
We send our invitations
to friends and relations
Announcing our wedding day
Friends and relations
send congratulations
How can I face them
What can I say
Let's make up sweetheart
we can't stay apart
Don't let foolish pride
keep you from my side
How can a love like ours be ending
It's the talk of the town

The Lonesome Road lyrics - Sam Cooke
look down, look down
that lonesome road
before you travel on
look up, look up
and see you maker
for Gabriel blows his horn
I get weary toting such a load
traveling down that lonesome road
look down, look down
that lonesome road
before you travel on
look down, look down
that lonesome road
before you travel on
look up, look up
and see you maker
for Gabriel blows his horn
I get weary toting such a load
traveling down that lonesome road
look down, look down
that lonesome road
before you travel on
look down, look down
that lonesome road
before you travel on
that lonesome road
before you travel on
look up, look up
and see you maker
for Gabriel blows his horn
I get weary toting such a load
traveling down that lonesome road
look down, look down
that lonesome road
before you travel on
look down, look down
that lonesome road
before you travel on
look up, look up
and see you maker
for Gabriel blows his horn
I get weary toting such a load
traveling down that lonesome road
look down, look down
that lonesome road
before you travel on
look down, look down
that lonesome road
before you travel on
Tammy lyrics - Sam Cooke
I hear the cottonwoods whispering above
Tammy! Tammy! Tammy's in love!
The old hootie owl hootie-hoo's to the dove
Tammy! Tammy! Tammy's in love!
Does my darling feel what I feel
When he comes near?
My heart beats so joyfully
you'd think that he could hear!
Wish I knew if he knew what I'm dreaming of!
Tammy! Tammy! Tammy's in love!
Whippoorwill, whippoorwill, you and I know
Tammy! Tammy! Can't let him go!
The breeze from the bayou keeps murmuring low
Tammy! Tammy! You love him so!
When the night is warm, soft and warm
I long for his charms!
I'd sing like a violin
if I were in his arms
Wish I knew if he knew what I'm dreaming of!
Tammy, Tammy, Tammy's in love!
Tammy! Tammy! Tammy's in love!
The old hootie owl hootie-hoo's to the dove
Tammy! Tammy! Tammy's in love!
Does my darling feel what I feel
When he comes near?
My heart beats so joyfully
you'd think that he could hear!
Wish I knew if he knew what I'm dreaming of!
Tammy! Tammy! Tammy's in love!
Whippoorwill, whippoorwill, you and I know
Tammy! Tammy! Can't let him go!
The breeze from the bayou keeps murmuring low
Tammy! Tammy! You love him so!
When the night is warm, soft and warm
I long for his charms!
I'd sing like a violin
if I were in his arms
Wish I knew if he knew what I'm dreaming of!
Tammy, Tammy, Tammy's in love!
Ol' Man River lyrics - Sam Cooke
Rolling along, rolling along, rolling along
Hm, old man river, that old man river
He don't say nothing, but he must know something
For old man river, he just keeps rolling along
He don't plant taters, he don't pick cotton
And them that plants em they're soon forgotten
While old man river, he jest keeps rolling along
You and me, we sweat and strain
Body all aching and racked with pain
Towed that bargem lift the bail
Get a little drunk and you land in jail
In get weary and sick of trying
I'm tired of living and afraid of dying
While old man river he just keeps rolling along
Hm, old man river, that old man river
He don't say nothing, but he must know something
For old man river, he just keeps rolling along
He don't plant taters, he don't pick cotton
And them that plants em they're soon forgotten
While old man river, he jest keeps rolling along
You and me, we sweat and strain
Body all aching and racked with pain
Towed that bargem lift the bail
Get a little drunk and you land in jail
In get weary and sick of trying
I'm tired of living and afraid of dying
While old man river he just keeps rolling along
Moonlight In Vermont lryics - Sam Cooke
Pennies in a stream
Falling leaves
A sycamore
Moonlight in Vermont
I see finger waves
Ski-trails on a mountain side
Snow-light in Vermont
Telegraph cables they sing down the highway
And travel each bend in the road
People who meet in this romantic setting
Are so hypnotized by the lovely evening summer breeze
Wobbling above that old lark
Moonlight In Vermont
(Pennies on a stream,
pennies, pennies, pennies on a stream)
Pennies in a stream
Falling leaves
A sycamore
Moonlight in Vermont
I see finger waves
Ski-trails on a mountain side
Snow-light in Vermont
Telegraph cables they sing down the highway
And travel each bend in the road
People who meet in this romantic setting
Are so hypnotized by the lovely evening summer breeze
Wobbling above that old lark
Moonlight In Vermont
You and I and moonlight in Vermont
Falling leaves
A sycamore
Moonlight in Vermont
I see finger waves
Ski-trails on a mountain side
Snow-light in Vermont
Telegraph cables they sing down the highway
And travel each bend in the road
People who meet in this romantic setting
Are so hypnotized by the lovely evening summer breeze
Wobbling above that old lark
Moonlight In Vermont
(Pennies on a stream,
pennies, pennies, pennies on a stream)
Pennies in a stream
Falling leaves
A sycamore
Moonlight in Vermont
I see finger waves
Ski-trails on a mountain side
Snow-light in Vermont
Telegraph cables they sing down the highway
And travel each bend in the road
People who meet in this romantic setting
Are so hypnotized by the lovely evening summer breeze
Wobbling above that old lark
Moonlight In Vermont
You and I and moonlight in Vermont
Canadian Sunset lyrics - Sam Cooke
Once I was alone
So so lonely and then
You came out of nowhere
Like the sun up from the hills
Cold, cold was the wind
Warm, so warm, warm were your lips
Out there on that ski trail
Where your kiss filled me with thrills
A weekend in Canada
A change of scene
Was the most I bargained for
And then I discovered you
And in your eyes
I found a love I couldn´t ignore
Down, down came the sun
Fast fast fast beat my heart
I knew, when the sunset
From that day we´d never part
A weekend in Canada
A change of scene
Was the most I bargained for
And then I discovered you
And in your eyes
I found a love that I couldn´t ignore
Down, down came the sun
Fast fast so fast fast beat my heart
I knew, when the suns et
From that day we´d never part
we´d never part, we´d never part
So so lonely and then
You came out of nowhere
Like the sun up from the hills
Cold, cold was the wind
Warm, so warm, warm were your lips
Out there on that ski trail
Where your kiss filled me with thrills
A weekend in Canada
A change of scene
Was the most I bargained for
And then I discovered you
And in your eyes
I found a love I couldn´t ignore
Down, down came the sun
Fast fast fast beat my heart
I knew, when the sunset
From that day we´d never part
A weekend in Canada
A change of scene
Was the most I bargained for
And then I discovered you
And in your eyes
I found a love that I couldn´t ignore
Down, down came the sun
Fast fast so fast fast beat my heart
I knew, when the suns et
From that day we´d never part
we´d never part, we´d never part

Around The World lyrics - Sam Cooke
Around the world I searched for you
I traveled on but hope was gone
to keep a rendez-vous
I knew sometime, some place, some how
you'd look at me, and I would see the smile
you're smiling now
it might have been in ...
or in New York, or in Paris, or even London town
no longer will I go all around the world
for I've found my world in you
(with background vocals)
Around the world I searched for you
I traveled on but hope was gone
to keep a rendez-vous
I knew somewhere, some time, some how
you'd look at me, and I would see the smile
you're smiling now
it might have been in ...
or in New York, or in Paris, or even London town
no longer will I go all around the world
for I've found my world in you
I've found my world, found my world in you
I traveled on but hope was gone
to keep a rendez-vous
I knew sometime, some place, some how
you'd look at me, and I would see the smile
you're smiling now
it might have been in ...
or in New York, or in Paris, or even London town
no longer will I go all around the world
for I've found my world in you
(with background vocals)
Around the world I searched for you
I traveled on but hope was gone
to keep a rendez-vous
I knew somewhere, some time, some how
you'd look at me, and I would see the smile
you're smiling now
it might have been in ...
or in New York, or in Paris, or even London town
no longer will I go all around the world

Ain't Misbehavin' lyrics - Sam Cooke
No one to walk with, all by myself,
No one to talk with, but I'm happy on the shelf.
Ain't Misbehavin', I'm savin' my love for you
I know for certain the one I love
I'm thru with flirtin', it's just you I'm thinkin' of,
Ain't Mis-be-hav-in', I'm savin' my love for you
I'm Like Jack Horner in the corner,
I don't go nowhere, what do I care,
Your kisses are worth waitin' for, believe me
I don't stay out late, no place to go
I'm home a-bout eight, just me and my radio
Ain't Mis-be-hav-in', savin' all of my love for you
No one to walk with, all by myself,
No one to talk with, but I'm happy on the shelf.
Ain't Misbehavin', I'm savin' my love for you
I know for certain the one I love
I'm thru with flirtin', it's just you I'm thinkin' of,
Ain't Mis-be-hav-in', I'm savin' my love for you
I'm like Jack Horner in the corner,
I don't go nowhere, what do I care,
Your kisses are worth waitin' for, believe me
I don't stay out late, that's not for me
I'm home about eight, just quit looking at my tv
Ain't Mis-be-hav-in', savin' all of my love for you
No one to talk with, but I'm happy on the shelf.
Ain't Misbehavin', I'm savin' my love for you
I know for certain the one I love
I'm thru with flirtin', it's just you I'm thinkin' of,
Ain't Mis-be-hav-in', I'm savin' my love for you
I'm Like Jack Horner in the corner,
I don't go nowhere, what do I care,
Your kisses are worth waitin' for, believe me
I don't stay out late, no place to go
I'm home a-bout eight, just me and my radio
Ain't Mis-be-hav-in', savin' all of my love for you
No one to walk with, all by myself,
No one to talk with, but I'm happy on the shelf.
Ain't Misbehavin', I'm savin' my love for you
I know for certain the one I love
I'm thru with flirtin', it's just you I'm thinkin' of,
Ain't Mis-be-hav-in', I'm savin' my love for you
I'm like Jack Horner in the corner,
I don't go nowhere, what do I care,
Your kisses are worth waitin' for, believe me
I don't stay out late, that's not for me
I'm home about eight, just quit looking at my tv
Ain't Mis-be-hav-in', savin' all of my love for you
The Bells Of St. Mary's lyrics - Sam Cooke
The bells of St. Mary's
I hear they are calling
the young loves, the true loves
who come from the sea
And so my beloved

the young loves, the true loves
who come from the sea
And so my beloved
when red leeves are falling
the love bells shell
ring out, ring out
for you and me
I hear they are calling
the young loves, the true loves
who come from the sea
And so my beloved
when red leaves are falling
the love bells are shell
ring out, ring out
for you and me
the bells of st mary's
I hear they are calling
the young loves, the true loves
who come from the sea
And so my beloved
when red leeves are falling
the love bells shell
ring out, ring out
for you and me
So Long lyrics - Sam Cooke
so long, so long
jee, I hate to see you go
you mean the world to me you know
you've been mine so long
so long, so long
hope we meet again some day
if we do I hope you'll say
darling, my mind was wrong
all alone with my memories of you
I hope you are lonely too

even though we're oh so far apart
I shall keep you here in my heart
so long, though you leave me and I cry?
this will never be goodbye

so long, though you leave me in a pry?
this will never be goodbye
you've been mine so long

you mean the world to me you know
you've been mine so long
so long, so long
hope we meet again some day
if we do I hope you'll say

Danny Boy lyrics - Sam Cooke
Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling
It's you it's you must go, I must bide
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
it's I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so
Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling
It's you it's you must go, I must bide
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
it's I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling
It's you it's you must go, I must bide
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
it's I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so
Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling
It's you it's you must go, I must bide
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
it's I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so
That Lucky Old Sun lyrics - Sam Cooke
Up in the morning, out on the job
Work like the devil for my pay
While that lucky old sun has nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day
I have to fuss with my woman
toil for my kids
Sweat 'till I'm wrinkled and raid
While that lucky old sun has nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day
The Lord above don't you know I'm pining
tears all in my eyes
Send down that cloud with the silver lining
lift me to paradise
show me that river, take me across
Wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun
give me nothing to do
Than roll around heaven all day
The Lord above don't you know I'm plying
tears all in my eyes
Send down that cloud with the silver lining
lift me to paradise
show me that river, take me across
Wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun
give me nothing to do
Than roll around heaven all day
Work like the devil for my pay
While that lucky old sun has nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day
I have to fuss with my woman
toil for my kids
Sweat 'till I'm wrinkled and raid
While that lucky old sun has nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day
The Lord above don't you know I'm pining
tears all in my eyes
Send down that cloud with the silver lining
lift me to paradise
show me that river, take me across
Wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun
give me nothing to do
Than roll around heaven all day
The Lord above don't you know I'm plying
tears all in my eyes
Send down that cloud with the silver lining
lift me to paradise
show me that river, take me across
Wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun
give me nothing to do
Than roll around heaven all day
(Somebody) Ease My Troublin' Mind lyrics - Sam Cooke
I wish somebody would come and ease my troublin' mind
I wish somebody would come and ease my troublin' mind
Oh yes, I do
Why won't somebody come and ease my troublin' mind
I sure wish somebody would come and ease my troublin' mind
I wish my baby would come and tell me everything's allright
I sure wish my baby would come and tell me everything is still allright
Oh yes, I do
They tell me when you tell somebody your troubles
Trouble fly away from you
I'm looking, looking, looking for somebody
I can tell my troubles to
Why won't somebody come and ease my troublin' mind
I sure wish somebody would come and ease my troublin' mind
Oh yeah
I wish somebody would come and ease my troublin' mind
Oh yes, I do
Why won't somebody come and ease my troublin' mind
I sure wish somebody would come and ease my troublin' mind
I wish my baby would come and tell me everything's allright
I sure wish my baby would come and tell me everything is still allright
Oh yes, I do
They tell me when you tell somebody your troubles
Trouble fly away from you
I'm looking, looking, looking for somebody
I can tell my troubles to
Why won't somebody come and ease my troublin' mind
I sure wish somebody would come and ease my troublin' mind
Oh yeah
All Of My Life lyrics - Sam Cooke
All of my life, yes all of my life
I've waited, waited, waited for you
I dreamed and dreamed and thought and schemed
For someone, someone, someone like you
Now that you're here, please my dear
Don't ever, ever, ever go
All of my life, yes all of my life
I've dreamed and longed for you so
Once a voice whispered inside me:
Wait for someone who's true
Don't love another for love is forever
And no one else will do
Now that you're here, I'm happy my dear
I've waited, waited, waited, waited for you
All of my life, yes all of my life
I've dreamed and dreamed of you
I've waited for you all of my life
I've waited, waited, waited for you
I dreamed and dreamed and thought and schemed
For someone, someone, someone like you
Now that you're here, please my dear
Don't ever, ever, ever go
All of my life, yes all of my life
I've dreamed and longed for you so
Once a voice whispered inside me:
Wait for someone who's true
Don't love another for love is forever
And no one else will do
Now that you're here, I'm happy my dear
I've waited, waited, waited, waited for you
All of my life, yes all of my life
I've dreamed and dreamed of you
I've waited for you all of my life
Falling In Love lyrics - Sam Cooke
I'm falling in love
With someone
Who's not falling in love with me
How can I escape this future
That holds nothin' but misery?
I'm giving my all
To someone
Who's not giving her all to me
If she only knew what she's doin' to me
She would set my poor heart free
I know there's been many before me
Who've had a one-sided love
But goodness knows
A poor boy like me
Needs some help from above
So Lord I'm falling in love
With someone
Who's not falling in love with me
If she only cared just the very least bit
I'd be happy as a boy could be
Lord, I'd be happy as a boy could be
With someone
Who's not falling in love with me
How can I escape this future
That holds nothin' but misery?
I'm giving my all
To someone
Who's not giving her all to me
If she only knew what she's doin' to me
She would set my poor heart free
I know there's been many before me
Who've had a one-sided love
But goodness knows
A poor boy like me
Needs some help from above
So Lord I'm falling in love
With someone
Who's not falling in love with me
If she only cared just the very least bit
I'd be happy as a boy could be
Lord, I'd be happy as a boy could be
Home (When Shadows Fall) lyrics - Sam Cooke
O, when shadows fall
and trees whisper day is ending
My thoughts are even when they home
O when crickets call
my heart is forever yearning
Someday to be returning home
When the hills conceal the setting sun
Stars begin a-peepin, one by one
Night covers all and no fortune may for sale
My dreams will ever take for home
Night covers all and no fortune may for sale
My dreams will ever take for home
and trees whisper day is ending
My thoughts are even when they home
O when crickets call
my heart is forever yearning
Someday to be returning home
When the hills conceal the setting sun
Stars begin a-peepin, one by one
Night covers all and no fortune may for sale
My dreams will ever take for home
Night covers all and no fortune may for sale
My dreams will ever take for home
I'm In The Mood For Love lyrics - Sam Cooke
I'm in the mood for love
Simply because you're near me
Funny, but when you're near me
I'm in the mood for love
Heaven is in your eyes
Bright as the stars we're under
Oh, is it any wonder that
I'm in the mood for love
Why stop to think of whether
This little dream might fade?
We put our hearts together
Now we are one don't be afraid
If there's a cloud above
If it should rain, we'll let it
But for tonight, forget it and get with it
I'm in the mood for love
Simply because you're near me
Funny, but when you're near me
I'm in the mood for love
Heaven is in your eyes
Bright as the stars we're under
Oh, is it any wonder that
I'm in the mood for love
Why stop to think of whether
This little dream might fade?
We put our hearts together
Now we are one don't be afraid
If there's a cloud above
If it should rain, we'll let it
But for tonight, forget it and get with it
I'm in the mood for love
It's Got The Whole World Shakin' lyrics - Sam Cooke
It's got the whole world shaking
Something must be going on
It's got the whole world shaking
Something must be going on
That's what I say
It's got that soul in it baby
You can't meet that beat alone
It's got the whole world shaking
And I'm talking 'bout that beat, alright
It's got the whole world shaking
And I'm talking 'bout that beat, that's what I say
It's got that soul in it baby
You can't help but pat your feet
Makes you wiggle
Makes you move
Puts your body
In the groove
You want to holler
You want to shout
Makes you wanna
Work it all out
It's got the whole shaking
From New York to old Hong Kong
It's got the whole shaking
From New York to old Hong Kong
It's got that soul in it baby
You can't meet that beat alone
Something must be going on
It's got the whole world shaking
Something must be going on
That's what I say
It's got that soul in it baby
You can't meet that beat alone
It's got the whole world shaking
And I'm talking 'bout that beat, alright
It's got the whole world shaking
And I'm talking 'bout that beat, that's what I say
It's got that soul in it baby
You can't help but pat your feet
Makes you wiggle
Makes you move
Puts your body
In the groove
You want to holler
You want to shout
Makes you wanna
Work it all out
It's got the whole shaking
From New York to old Hong Kong
It's got the whole shaking
From New York to old Hong Kong
It's got that soul in it baby
You can't meet that beat alone
Let's Go Steady Again lyrics - Sam Cooke
You left me for a new love
You found out it wasn't a true love
Now that he is gone
Lets go steady one more time
Please don't cry
You've got to be strong, dear
I know he was wrong, dear
But now that he's gone
I know he was wrong to come to the dance
With another girl, the way that he did
I knew he was wrong when he took your love from me
After all, he was once my best friend
Thats all in the past
Let's forget you
He'll never hurt you
I won't let him
Now that he's gone
Let's go steady one more time
Yes he was wrong to come to the dance
With another girl, the way that he did
I knew he was wrong when he took your love from me
After all, he was once my best friend
Thats all in the past
Let's forget him
He'll never hurt you
I won't let him
Now that he's gone
Let's go steady one more time
You found out it wasn't a true love
Now that he is gone
Lets go steady one more time
Please don't cry
You've got to be strong, dear
I know he was wrong, dear
But now that he's gone
I know he was wrong to come to the dance
With another girl, the way that he did
I knew he was wrong when he took your love from me
After all, he was once my best friend
Thats all in the past
Let's forget you
He'll never hurt you
I won't let him
Now that he's gone
Let's go steady one more time
Yes he was wrong to come to the dance
With another girl, the way that he did
I knew he was wrong when he took your love from me
After all, he was once my best friend
Thats all in the past
Let's forget him
He'll never hurt you
I won't let him
Now that he's gone
Let's go steady one more time
Little Things You Do lyrics - Sam Cooke
Love without devotion
can never be true
You can show emotion
in the little things you do
Words when kindly spoken
can make dreams seem true
But more than words can say
are the little things you do
(the little things you do)
A tender touch can mean so much
A card, a letter when away
Each little smile is so worthwhile
to show affection each day
Love can be so tender and always be true
But love must have assurance
by those little things you do
(Love must have assurance and you can make it true)
By the little tings you do
can never be true
You can show emotion
in the little things you do
Words when kindly spoken
can make dreams seem true
But more than words can say
are the little things you do
(the little things you do)
A tender touch can mean so much
A card, a letter when away
Each little smile is so worthwhile
to show affection each day
Love can be so tender and always be true
But love must have assurance
by those little things you do
(Love must have assurance and you can make it true)
By the little tings you do
Lonely Island lyrics - Sam Cooke
I live on a lonely island in the heart of the city
I live on a lonely island there isn't any hope for me
I tell you my heart is broken, it's a shame have pity
I might as well be shipwrecked in the middle of the sea
Nobody will believe me
Nobody seems to care
How lonely, how lonely can you be
I walk around the city
My heart sends out a flare
Baby, baby, baby won't you rescue me
I live on a lonely island there isn't any hope for me
I tell you my heart is broken, it's a shame have pity
I might as well be shipwrecked in the middle of the sea
Nobody will believe me
Nobody seems to care
How lonely, how lonely can you be
I walk around the city
My heart sends out a flare
Baby, baby, baby won't you rescue me

Rome (Wasn't Built In A Day) lyrics - Sam Cooke
Don't, honey don't, go away, no no
Don't you hear, don't you hear,
What I say, what I say
Give me time, give me time
I'm gonna make your love as strong as mine
But I know Rome wasn't built in a day
Now, you know that I love you dear with all my heart
I know that you didn't love me from the start
But I planted a lil' seed in your heart I know
And it just needs time to grow, baby
Don't, honey don't, go away, no no
Don't you hear, don't you hear,
What I say, what I say
Give me time, give me time
I'm gonna make your love as strong as mine
But I know Rome wasn't built in a day
Listen to me honey now
How would Romeo feel if his Juliet
Had turned down his advances and played hard to get
He wouldn't have let this bother him, this I know
Because where there's light there's hope
Oh!
Baby, don't go away, no no
Don't you hear now, don't you hear now,
What I say, what I say
Give me time, give me time
I'm gonna make your love as strong as mine
But I know Rome wasn't built in a day
Don't you hear me telling you that
Rome wasn't built in a day
Don't you realize that
Rome wasn't built in a day
Don't you hear, don't you hear,
What I say, what I say
Give me time, give me time
I'm gonna make your love as strong as mine
But I know Rome wasn't built in a day
Now, you know that I love you dear with all my heart
I know that you didn't love me from the start
But I planted a lil' seed in your heart I know
And it just needs time to grow, baby
Don't, honey don't, go away, no no
Don't you hear, don't you hear,
What I say, what I say
Give me time, give me time
I'm gonna make your love as strong as mine
But I know Rome wasn't built in a day
Listen to me honey now
How would Romeo feel if his Juliet
Had turned down his advances and played hard to get
He wouldn't have let this bother him, this I know
Because where there's light there's hope
Oh!
Baby, don't go away, no no
Don't you hear now, don't you hear now,
What I say, what I say
Give me time, give me time
I'm gonna make your love as strong as mine
But I know Rome wasn't built in a day
Don't you hear me telling you that
Rome wasn't built in a day
Don't you realize that
Rome wasn't built in a day
Sittin' In The Sun lyrics - Sam Cooke
Sittin' in the sun counting my money
fanned by my summer-breeze
Sweeter than the honey is counting my money
Those greenbacks on the trees
Comes the summer shower drops of rain falling
Sweeter than the christ-mass chimes
And here on those jungles upon the roof shingles
Like pennies, nickles and dimes
Though it is knows that what I own
is not a lot to move
fills of gold that I behold
are in my bank-account,
I'm sitting in the sun
counting my money
happy as can be
and to top it all when shadows fall
I look to heaven and I see
there's a silver dollar
in the sky shining down on me
Can you wonder why I'm in
sittin' in the sun
counting my money
happy as can be
and to top it all when shadows fall
I look to heaven and I see
there's a silver dollar
in the sky shining down on me
fanned by my summer-breeze
Sweeter than the honey is counting my money
Those greenbacks on the trees
Comes the summer shower drops of rain falling
Sweeter than the christ-mass chimes
And here on those jungles upon the roof shingles
Like pennies, nickles and dimes
Though it is knows that what I own
is not a lot to move
fills of gold that I behold
are in my bank-account,
I'm sitting in the sun
counting my money
happy as can be
and to top it all when shadows fall
I look to heaven and I see
there's a silver dollar
in the sky shining down on me
Can you wonder why I'm in
sittin' in the sun
counting my money
happy as can be
and to top it all when shadows fall
I look to heaven and I see
there's a silver dollar
in the sky shining down on me
The Riddle Song lyrics - Sam Cooke
I gave my love a cherry that had no stone
I gave my love a chicken that had no bone
I gave my love a ring that had no end
I gave my love a baby with no cryin'
How can there be a cherry that has no stone
How can there be a chicken that has no bone
How can there be a ring that has no end
How can there be a baby with no cryin'
A cherry when it's bloomin', it has no stone
A chicken when it's pippin' ain't got no bone
A ring when it's rollin', it has no end
And oh, a baby when it's sleepin', there's no cryin'
A baby when it's sleepin'
There's no cryin'
I gave my love a chicken that had no bone
I gave my love a ring that had no end
I gave my love a baby with no cryin'
How can there be a cherry that has no stone
How can there be a chicken that has no bone
How can there be a ring that has no end
How can there be a baby with no cryin'
A cherry when it's bloomin', it has no stone
A chicken when it's pippin' ain't got no bone
A ring when it's rollin', it has no end
And oh, a baby when it's sleepin', there's no cryin'
A baby when it's sleepin'
There's no cryin'
There'll Be No Second Time lyrics - Sam Cooke
You done me wrong
I tried to be kind baby
'cause you told me you were mine o mine
But you walked out and left me behind
So there'll be no second time
I was a fool to give my love
Cause you swore you'd love me
by the stars above
But you walked out and left me behind
So there'll be no second time
Go on laugh and have your fun
Let the good times keep rollin' on
There'll come a day
when you have to pay
for everything that you have done
You can cry, you can rave
Try to show you love me
in a million ways
But you walked out and left me behind
So there'll be no second time
Go on laugh and have some fun
Let the good times keep rollin' on
There'll come a day
when you have to pay
for everything that you have done
Listen to me
You can cry, you can rave
Try to show you love me
in a million ways
But you walked out and left me behind
So there'll be no second time
There certainly will be
no second time
I tried to be kind baby
'cause you told me you were mine o mine
But you walked out and left me behind
So there'll be no second time
I was a fool to give my love
Cause you swore you'd love me
by the stars above
But you walked out and left me behind
So there'll be no second time
Go on laugh and have your fun
Let the good times keep rollin' on
There'll come a day
when you have to pay
for everything that you have done
You can cry, you can rave
Try to show you love me
in a million ways
But you walked out and left me behind
So there'll be no second time
Go on laugh and have some fun
Let the good times keep rollin' on
There'll come a day
when you have to pay
for everything that you have done
Listen to me
You can cry, you can rave
Try to show you love me
in a million ways
But you walked out and left me behind
So there'll be no second time
There certainly will be
no second time
Yeah Man lyrics - Sam Cooke
Do you like good music
Crazy 'bout music
Any old music
Yeah, yeah
Do you like all the dances
You crazy 'bout the dances
As long as they are swinging
What, what

I don't know which one
Let's try to do the monkey
All right, yeah
Do you like all the dances
I'm crazy 'bout the dances
Let's try a new dance
Let's try the watutsi
I love to do the tutsi
Put the twist with the tutsi
Let's try a new dance
Dig what I tell you
Got to do what I tell you
You're on a football field
You're down in the huddle
Run for that touchdown
You're on a baseball field now
Your bat's in your hand now
Swing for that homerun
You're in the middle of an ocean
Ship had gone done now
Swim our life now
Swim, swim, got to go
I'm going home
Crazy 'bout music
Any old music
Yeah, yeah
Do you like all the dances
You crazy 'bout the dances
As long as they are swinging
What, what

I don't know which one
Let's try to do the monkey
All right, yeah
Do you like all the dances
I'm crazy 'bout the dances
Let's try a new dance
Let's try the watutsi
I love to do the tutsi
Put the twist with the tutsi
Let's try a new dance
Dig what I tell you
Got to do what I tell you
You're on a football field
You're down in the huddle
Run for that touchdown
You're on a baseball field now
Your bat's in your hand now
Swing for that homerun
You're in the middle of an ocean
Ship had gone done now
Swim our life now
Swim, swim, got to go
I'm going home
You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You lyrics - Sam Cooke
You're nobody till somebody loves you
Oh, you're nobody till somebody cares
You may be king
You may possess the world and its gold
But that gold won't bring you happiness
When you are growing old
The world still is the same
You'll never change it
As long as the stars shine above
You got to remember that you're nobody
Nobody till somebody loves you
So find yourself somebody to love
The world stays the same
You'll never change it
You'll never change it, no no no
As long as the stars shine above
But you got to remember you' re nobody
Till somebody loves you
So go on out and find someone to love
Take my advice and go on out and find
Someone to love
Oh, you're nobody till somebody cares
You may be king
You may possess the world and its gold
But that gold won't bring you happiness
When you are growing old
The world still is the same
You'll never change it
As long as the stars shine above
You got to remember that you're nobody
Nobody till somebody loves you
So find yourself somebody to love
The world stays the same
You'll never change it
You'll never change it, no no no
As long as the stars shine above
But you got to remember you' re nobody
Till somebody loves you
So go on out and find someone to love
Take my advice and go on out and find
Someone to love
