You Are My Sunshine

[No lyrics]

. . .


Just let me love you tonight
Forget about tomorrow
My darling won't
You hold me tight
And never let
Never let me go

Cry your eyes
No tears no sorrow
Cling to me
With all your might
And never let me go

A million times or more
We said we'd never never never never part
Ah but lately
Lately I find
That you're a stranger
A stranger in my heart
Give me give me give me

Give me the night
In summer or in springtime
To tell the world
That you're the you're and you're everything of mine
And you'll never
Oh never let me go
No
You'll never let me go

(Backup)
Prove it, Prove it, Prove it, Prove it to me

(Aretha)
Prove,
That it won't bother me,
To become your used to be.
Prove,
That I can just Ignore,
All the love we shared before.

(Aretha) Prove it to my stallin' Heart!
(Backup) Prove it to my stalling Heart.
(Aretha) Prove it now before we part!
(Backup) Prove it now before we part.

(Together)
Prove it, Baby
Proove it, Baby!

(Aretha)
Prove,
The loneliness I'll find,
Will be only in my mind.
Prove,
That all these tears that fall,
Aren't really tears at all.

(Aretha) Prove that I don't want to die!
(Backup) Prove that I don't want to die
(Aretha) Now that you say, "It's goodbye"!
(Backup) Now that you say, "It's goodbye"

(Together)
Prove it, Baby
Proove it, Baby!

(Aretha)
Before you walk out that door
Prove, I won't love you no more
Prove that i'll forget your kiss
In your arms, I'll never miss
(Back up) Never Miss
(Aretha) Now let me see you
(Togehter) prove it
(Aretha) Just let me see you
(Together) Prove it

(Aretha)
Prove,that I don't want to die
Now, That you say, "It's Goodbyye"

Together)
Prove it, Baby
Proove it, Baby!

(Aretha) Let me see you
(Togehter) prove it
(Aretha) Just let me see you
(Together) Prove it

(Aretha)
Prove, that I don't want to die.
Now, That you say, "It's Goodbyye", Baby!


(Aretha) Prove it
(Together) Baby!
(Aretha) Let me see you
(Together) Proove it

(Back up)
Prove it, Prove it, Prove it, Prove it to me

In the evening
When the sun goes down
You're gonna find me
Sittin' around

The night life
Ain't no good life
But it's my life

O, good people
Just like you and me
Sittin' around dreaming
?Up that there used to be?

I tell you that the night life
Sure ain't no good life
But it's my life, yes it is

O, listen to the blues
To the blues and what they're saying
Listen to the blues, to the blues and what they're playing

They seem to be saying to me
Many people have loved
And many people have lost
They might not have loved at all
Had they known that they couldn't pay the cost

They tell me, they tell me
That life is just an empty scene
Older than the oldest broken heart
Newer than the newest broken dreams

I tell you the night life, the night life
Sure ain't no good life
But do you know that it's my life

Yeah, yeah, I tell you that the night life
Sure ain't no good life
But do you know that it's my life

. . .

That's Life

[No lyrics]

I wonder, my little darlin',
Where can you be this moonlit night?
Are you holdin' someone tight?
Oh baby, I wonder.

My heart is achin',
But I'm a fool to let it go on breakin'!
Maybe I'll awake to find that I'm mistaken,
Mmm, I wonder.

Baby, since we are through I've been through Lovers Lane,
But in my heart there's only pain.
You went travellin' but will it last?
Well I'm travellin' nowhere fast, mmm sweetheart, mmm sweetheart.

I wonder, well well well, little baby,
If this new love dies, where will you be?
Will your heart come runnin' back to me, baby?
I wonder.

. . .


Ain't nobody gonna turn me around no more
Ain't nobody gonna turn me around

Well I've learned my lesson and now I see
love just ain't the thing for me
Ain't nobody gonna turn me around

Ain't nobody gonna talk sweet talk to me
Ain't nobody gonna tell how sweet your love can be
I'm gonna take my love and put in on the shelf
Ain't gonna give it to nobody else
Ain't nobody who's gonna turn me around

Love you've been so doggone mean
You shattered every one of my dreams
You know I can't love nobody else
Yet you left me here all by myself

You turned me around (repeat three more times)
I learned my lesson and now I see
Love ain' the thing for me
Ain't nobody who's gonna turn me around

. . .


I have had my fun if I never get well no more
I have had my fun if I never get well no more
All of my health is failing
Lord, I'm going down slow

I'm going down slow
Please write my father and tell him the shape I'm in
Please write my father and tell him the shape I'm in
Tell her to pray for me
Forgive me for my sin
For all of my sin

On the next train south, look for my clothes back home
On the next train south, look for my clothes back home
'Cause all of my health is failing
Lord, I'm going down slow
I'm going down slow

All of my health is failing
Lord, I'm going down slow
I'm going down slow

Feel like I'm going, like I'm going down slow
I feel like I'm going, like I'm going down slow
I feel like I'm going, like I'm going down slow
I feel like I'm going, like I'm going down slow
I feel like I'm going, like I'm going down slow

. . .



If you want my lovin
If you really do
Don't be afra-aid bab-ay

Ya know I'm gonna give it to you

Oh and I do declare (I do)
I Wanna see you with it
Stretch out your arms little boy

If you feel you wanna kiss me
Go right ahead I don't mind
All you got to do is snap your fingers
And I'll come a- runnin, I ain't lyin

And Ooooh what you want'
Little boy you know you got it
I'd deny my own self
Before I see you without it
Cause I love you
(Baby, baby, baby I love you)
Ain't no doubt about it baby I love you
(Baby, baby, baby I love you)
I love you, I love you, I love you
Baby I love you

Someday ya might wanna run, run away
And leave me sittin here to cry
But if it's all the same to ya baby
I'm gonna stop ya from sayin goodbye
(Goodbye)
Baby I love ya (baby, baby, I love ya)
Baby I need ya (baby, baby I need ya)
Said I want ya (baby baby I want ya)
Got ta have ya (baby baby I love ya)
Don't let your neighbors tell ya I don't want ya
(Baby, baby I want ya)

Don't let your lowdown friends
(Baby, baby I want ya)
Say I don't need ya
(Baby, baby I need ya)
Uh-huh baby I love ya...
