The Very...

Thought of You

Etta James

The very thought of you

I forget to do

Those little ordinary things

That everyone ought to do

I'm livin' in a kind of a daydream

I'm happy as a queen

And foolish though it may seem

To me that's everything

The mere idea of you

The longing here for you

You'll never know

How slow the moments go

Till I'm near to you

I see your face in every flower

Your eyes in stars above

It's just the thought of you,

The very thought of you, my love

Out of..

the rain

Etta James

Out of the rain, under the shelter

I've been so long where the sun don't shine

Standing at the crossroad, oh, could have went either way

But now I've found you and the storm is behind

Out of the rain, out of the rain, oh yeah, oh

Over the wall, I'm out in the open

Back on the right track, I'm feeling no pain

You took a sparrow, let it fly like an eagle

I can see long ways, I feel love again

Out of the rain, out of the rain

It took your sweet love to pull me out of the canyon

And I believe I can make it now, I feel like I belong

Out of the rain, out of the rain

Out of the rain

Out of the rain, out of the rain

Out of the rain

Out of the rain, I'm out of the rain

Feeling no pain, I'm out of the rain

Clean out of the rain

Out of the rain

I was just....

 

sitting here thinking....
I'd Rather Go Blind

Etta James

Something told me it was over

when I saw you and her talking,

Something deep down in my soul said, ´Cry Girl´,

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.

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
