At Last
At last my love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song
Ohh yeah yeah
At last
the skies above are blue
My
heart was wrapped up in clover
The night I looked at you
I found a dream, that I could speak to
A dream that I can
call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill that I have
never known
Ohh yeah yeah…
You smile, you smile
oh And then the
spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
for you are mine....
At Last
Tell Mama
Your dogs ain't found a good girl
One that love you and
give you warning
Now you find that you been misused
Well how many girls
can think all right
She'd embarrass you anywhere
She'd make her friends think
that she didn't care
Give me the chance and I'd been begging
And I just
want to take care of you and I want you to
Tell Mama, all about it, tell Mama, what you need
Tell
Mama, what you want and how that girl does things all right
Let me hear you
say 'Yes'
The girl you had didn't have no sense
she wasn't worth all
the time you spent
Had another man kick you out the door
Now that same
dude is wearing your clothes
Tell your Mama, what you want, tell your Mama, what you need
Tell your Mama, what you got to have
Dreamer
Dreamer, dreamer
Like a foul I thought
That it could be
Dream on, dream on,
So that someone
Will understand me
What do I say
When I fell to much
I think by now
I'm
wasting time
I'm going
Oh, Lord I'm gone
You are the essence
Of my
mind
Lord dreamer
I'm a dreamer
Like a foul I thought
That
it could be
Dream on, dream on,
Sure that someone
Someone will
understand me
Trust In Me
Trust in me in all you do
Have the faith I have in you
Love will see us through
If only you trust in me
Why don't you, you trust
me
Come to me when things go wrong
Cling to me Daddy, oh yeah,
and I'll be strong
We can get along, we can get along
Oh, if only you
trust in me
While there's a moon, a moon on high
While there are birds,
birds to fly
While there is you, you and I
I can be sure that I love you
Oh, stand beside me, stand beside me all the while
Come on
Daddy, face the future, why don't you smile
Trust in me and I'll be worthy of
you
Oh yeah, yeah, why don't you, you trust in me in all you do
And have the faith I, I have in you
Oh, and love will see us through
If
only you trust in me
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Why don't you, you come to me when things go wrong
Cling to
me and, whoa, and I'll be strong
We can get along, we can get along
Oh, if
only you trust in me
Yeah, yeah
All I Could Do Is Cry
I heard church bells ring
I heard a choir singing
I saw
my love walk down the aisle
on her finger he placed a ring
Oooh oh
I saw them holding hands
She was standing there with my man
I heard them promise
Til death do us part
Each word
Was a pain
In my
heart
All i could do was cry
All i could do was cry
I was
losing the man that i love
and all i could do was cry
And now the wedding is over
Rice, rice has been thrown over
their heads
For them life has just begun
but mine is ending
Ooh
All i could do was cry
All i could do was cry
I was
losing the man that i love
and all i could do was cry
A Sunday Kind Of Love
I want a Sunday kind of love
A love to last past Saturday
night
And I'd like to know it's more than love at first sight
And I want a
Sunday kind of love
Oh yea yea
I want a a love that's on the square
Can't seem to find
somebody
Someone to care
And I'm on a lonely road that leads to no where
I need a Sunday kind of love
I do my Sunday dreaming, Oh yea
And all my Sunday scheming
Every minute, every hour, every day
Oh I'm hoping to discover
A certain kind of lover
Who
will show me the way
And my arms need someone
Someone to enfold
To keep me
warm when Mondays and Tuesdays grow cold
Love for all my life to have and to
hold
Oh and I want a Sunday kind of love
Oh yea yea yea
I don't want a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, or Thursday,
Friday or Saturday
Oh nothing but Sunday oh yea
I want a Sunday Sunday
I want a Sunday kind of love
Oh yea
Sunday, Sunday, Sunday kind of loooove
I'd Rather Go Blind
Something told me it was over
when I saw you and her
talking,
Something deep down in my soul said,
when I saw you and that
girl, walking out.
I would rather, I would rather go blind boy,
Than to
see you, walk away from me child, and all.
Ooooo So you see, I love you so
much
That I don't want to watch you leave me baby,
Most of all, I just
don't, I just don't want to be free no
I was just, I was just, I was just sitting here thinking
Of
your kisses and your warm embrace, yeah,
When the reflection in the glass
that I held to my lips now baby,
Revealed the tears that was on my face,
yeah.
And baby, baby, I would rather be blind boy
Than to see you walk
away, see you walk away from me, yeah
Baby, baby, baby, I'd rather be blind
now
Pushover
Something's Got A Hold On Me
Vaya Con Dios
Sometimes I
get a good feeling
I get a feeling that I never, never had before
And I
got to tell you right now
I believe, I really do believe that
Something's got a hold on me
(Oh, it must be love)
Something's got a hold on me right now child
(Yeah, it must be love)
Let me tell you now
I never felt like this before
Something's got a hold on me that won't let go
I believe I'd die if I only
could
I sure feel strange, but I sure feel good
I said, Oh yeah
It must
be love
(You know it must be love)
Let me tell you now
Something's got a hold on me
(Oh, it
must be love)
Something's got a hold on me right now child
(Yeah, it must
be love)
Let me tell you now
I got a feeling, I feel so strange
Everything about me seems to have changed
Step by step, I got a brand new
walk
I even sound sweeter when I talk
I said, Oh yeah
It must be love
(You know it must be love)
Let me tell you now
My heart feels heavy, my feet feel
light
I shake all over, but I feel alright
I never felt like this before
Something's got a hold on me that won't let go
I never thought it could
happen to me
My heart was heavy when in misery
I never thought it could be
this way
Love's sure gonna put a hurting on me
I said Oh yeah
It must be love
(You know it must be
love)
Yeah he walks like love
(Yeah he walks like love)
And he talks
like love
(And he talks like love)
Makes me feel alright
(Makes me feel
alright)
In the middle of the night
(In the middle of the night)
Na na
na na!
The Blues Is My Business
I got a heart full of trouble, a house full of sin.
And
things are bad as they ever been.
If trouble were money,
I'd have more
money than any man should.
I'm open for business in your neighborhood,
The blues is my
business, and business is good.
If I had a dollar for every broken heart,
I'd be drinkin'
fine wine and eatin' caviar.
If trouble were money,
I'd have more money
than any man should.
I'm open for business in your neighborhood,
The blues is my
business, and business is good.
Well business, the business is good.
The blues is my
business, and business is good.

The blues is my business, the blues
is my business.
I'm open for business in your neighborhood,
The blues is
my business, and business is good.
It's a world full of trouble and a world full of pain,
I'll
take the problem, but I won't take no blame.
If trouble were money,
I'd
have more money than any man should.
I'm open for business in your neighborhood,
The blues is my
business, and business is good.
