Words and Music: Leon Russell & Bonnie Bramlett. . Long ago, and, oh, so far away. I fell in love with you before the second show.. And your guitar, and you sound so sweet and clear, but you're not really here..
Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain. Sunny, you smiled at me and you really eased the pain. But now the dark days are gone. Now the bright days are here.
Summertime and the livin' is easy. Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high. Yo' daddy's rich and yo' mama's good lookin'. So hush little baby, don't you cry.
I ain't usually lost for words. This has got to be a first. And I'm tryna find the reason why I'm. Stu- stu- stu- stuttering. . Something funny's happening.
Absolutely no one who knows me better. No one that can make me feel so good. How did we stay so long together?. Everybody, everybody said we never would.
You know the bed feels warmer. Sleeping here alone. You know I dream in colour. And do the things I want. . You think you got the best of me. Think you had the last laugh.
Lost in a dream. Don't know which way to go. If you are all that you seem. Then baby I'm movin' way too slow. . I've been a fool before. Wouldn't like to get my love caught.
She rolled in from the west. In a summer sun dress. Hotter than the heat in July. With her wind blown hair. It just wasn't fair. The way she was blowin' my mind.
Baby, you come knocking on my front door. Same old line you used to use before. And I said yeah, well, what am I supposed to do?. I didn't know what I was getting into.
Clouds, one by one, fill the sky. Just like these tears that fill my eyes. I know by now she ain't comin' back. And I watch my world slowly fade into black.
I've got to see you, oh somehow. Not tomorrow but, but right now. And I know it's late, but oh you don't make me wait. So come on baby let's steal away and oh let's steal away.
In the mornin' don't say you love me. 'Cause I'll only kick you out of the door. I know your name is Rita 'cause your perfume's smelling sweeter. Since when I saw you down on the floor, guitar.
I've been sitting here staring at the clock on the wall. And I've been laying here praying, praying she won't call. It's just another call from home. And you'll get it and be gone and I'll be crying.
I never was a straight-laced, straight-A student. Teacher's pet or child prodigy. I wasn't gonna get rich throwin' a football. It'd take too long to get a law degree.
(RedOne). . Let's go to the beach, each. Let's go get away. They say, what they gonna say?. Have a drink, clink, found the bud light. Bad bitches like me, is hard to come by.
And the rockets' red glare. The bombs bursting in air. Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. O say, does that star spangled banner yet wave.
When the night has come and the land is dark. And the moon is the only light we see. No, I won't be afraid, oh, I won't be afraid. Just as long as you stand, stand by me.
There's an old Australian stockman, er, rock band. Trying, but dying. They get themselves up onto their collective elbows. Revert to their sixties instrumentation.
I kinda thought that I'd be better off by myself. I've never been so wrong before. You made it impossible for me to ever love somebody else. And now I don't know what I left you for.
What have I got to do to make you love me?. What have I got to do to make you care?. What do I do when lightning strikes me?. And to wake to find that you're not there.
