Coat Of Many Colors lyrics - Eva Cassidy

Back through the years
I go wonderin' once again
Back to the seasons of my youth
I recall a box of rags that someone gave us
And my momma put those rags to use
There were rags of many colors
Every piece was small
And I early in the fall
Momma sewed the rags together
She sowed every piece with love
She made my coat of many colors
That I was so proud of
As she sewed, she told a story
From the bible, she had read
About a coat of many colors
Joseph wore and then she said
Perhaps this coat will bring you
Good luck and happiness
I just couldn't wait to wear it
Cause momma blessed it with a kiss

My coat of many colors
That my momma made for me
Made from only rags
But I wore it so proudly
But we didn't have much money
I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors
My momma made for me

They didn't understand
And I tried to make them see
That one is only poor
Only if they choose to be
Well we didn't have much money
I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors
My momma made for me
In my coat of many colours
My momma made Just for me

My Love Is Like A Red Red Rose lyrics - eva cassidy

My love's like a red, red rose
That's newly sprung in June;

My love is like a melody
So sweetly play'd in tune

As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in love am I;
And I will love thee still, my dear,
Though all the seas gone dry.

Though all the seas gone dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt with the sun;
I will love thee still my dear,
Though the sands o' life shall run.

So fare-thee-weel, my only love!
And fare-thee-weel awhile!
And I will come to you again,
Though it were ten thousand miles!

Though it were ten thousand miles, my dear
Though it twere ten thousand miles.
I will come to you again.
Though it twere ten thousand miles.

Ain't Doin' Too Bad lyrics - Eva Cassidy

Well, I got me some money
And a fine place to stay
Got a car I can drive
I ride around everyday

Ain't doing too bad
Ain't doing too bad at all
I ain't doing too bad baby
Ain't doing too bad at all

I got a book full of men
I can call on the phone
And they all dig me
'Cause my conversation's so strong

Ain't doing too bad
Ain't doing too bad at all
I ain't doing too bad baby
Ain't doing too bad at all

I don't like work
Work don't like me
We stay away from each other
That's the way it ought to be

Ain't doing too bad
Ain't doing too bad at all
I ain't doing too bad baby
Ain't doing too bad at all

Ain't doing too bad
Ain't doing too bad at all
Oh no, no, no, I ain't doing too bad
Ain't doing too bad at all

Won't Be Long lyrics - Eva Cassidy

Baby here I am by the railroad track
Waitin' for my baby, he's comin' back
Comin' back to me on the 503
Ooh and it won't be long, no it won't be long

I get so lonesome since my man's been gone
There ain't a thing worth mentioning
Nothin' goin' on and that's why I know when the whistle blows
That it won't be long, no won't be long

My daddy told me when he said goodbye, yes, he did
I'll be back baby, oh baby bye and bye
That's why I've waited so doggone long, yeah
Can't you see how happy I am because my man is comin' home?

So now here I'll be by the railroad track
Oh, waitin' for my baby
He's comin' back, comin' back to me on the 503
Yeah, and it won't be long, no it won't be long

I ain't had no lovin' since you know when
He's a lone old rooster and I'm a lonesome hen
That's why I'm sure when the whistle blows
Ooh, that it won't be long, no it won't be long

I'm so excited my knees are shakin', yeah
Mr. Engineer don't you keep me waitin'
Hear me tellin' you hurry, hurry
Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry

Baby, here I am on the railroad track
Ooh, waitin' for my baby, he's comin' back
Comin' back to me on the 503, yeah
And it won't be long, no it won't be long

I know, oh when the whistle blows, yeah
That it won't be long, no it won't be long
I know, oh when the whistle blows
That it won't be long, no it won't be long

Walkin' After Midnight lyrics - eva cassidy

I go out walkin' after midnight
Out in the moonlight just like we used to do
I'm always walkin' after midnight searchin' for you

I walk for miles along the highway
Well, that's just my way of sayin' I love you
I'm always walkin' after midnight searchin' for you

I stop to see a weepin' willow cryin' on his pillow
Maybe he's cryin' for me
And as the skies turn gloomy and night winds whisper to me
I'm lonesome as I can be

I go out walkin' after midnight
Out in the moonlight just hopin' you may be
Somewhere walkin' after midnight searchin' for me

I stop to see a weepin' willow cryin' on his pillow
Maybe he's cryin' for me
And as the skies turn gloomy and night winds whisper to me
I'm lonesome as I can be

I go out walkin' after midnight
Out in the moonlight just hopin' you may be
Somewhere walkin' after midnight searchin' for me

Early One Morning lyrics - Eva Cassidy

[Chorus:]
In the early morning rain with
a dollar in my hand
And an aching in my heart
And my pockets full of sand
I'm a long way from home
And I miss my loved ones so
In the early morning rain
With no place to go

Out on runway number 9
Big 707 set to go
But I'm stuck here on the ground
Where the cold winds blow
Your can't jump a jet plane like
you can a freight train
So I best be on my way in
the early morning rain

Hear her mighty engines roar
See the silver bird on high
She's away and
westward bound far
above my home she'll fly
Where the morning rain don't fall
And the sun always shines
She'll be flying past my home
In about 3 hours time

[Chorus]

A Bold Young Farmer lyrics - Eva Cassidy

A bold young farmer courted me
He stole my heart and my liberty
He stole my heart without free good will
And I must confess that I love him still

I wish I wish but it's all in vain
I wish I was a maid again
But a maid again I never can be
Since such a young fellow lies still by me

There sits a bird in yonder tree
Some say he's blind and cannot see
And I wish it was the same with me
Before I took up with your company

I wish my babe so tiny was born
And smiling on his father's knee
And I poor girl was dead and gone
With the green grass growing2 all over me

Oh dig my grave dig long and deep
Place a marble stone on my head and feet
And on my heart will snow my dove
To let the world know that I died for love

If I Give My Heart lyrics - Eva Cassidy

If I give my heart to you tonight,
will you still be by my side.
Or will you be gone, with the morning sun;
Like a restless bird in fly.

Take me in your arms,
and let the love you see,
Wash away your sorrows.
Let the morning be ours too keep.

and If I should tell you of a love that I had,
will you still be there for me.
or will you away to a faded love,
searching for freedoms game.

Take me in your arms,
and let the love you see,
wash away your sorrows.
Let the morning be ours to keep.

Take me in your arms,
and let the love you see,
wash away your sorrows.
Let the morning be ours to keep.

If I give my heart to you tonight,
will you still be by my side.
or will you be gone,
with the morning sun.
Like a bird who yearns to fly.

Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain lyrics - Eva cassidy

In the twilight glow I see
Blue eyes crying in the rain
When we kissed goodbye and parted
I knew we'd never meet again

Love is like a dying ember
And only memories remain
And through the ages I'll remember
Blue eyes crying in the rain

Someday soon we'll meet up yonder
And we'll walk hand in hand again
And through the ages I'll remember
Blue eyes crying in the rain
Blue eyes crying in the rain

Summertime lyrics - Eva Cassidy

Summertime and the living is easy
Fish are jumping and the cotton's high
Your dad is rich and your mom's good looking
So hush little baby, baby, don't you cry

One of these mornings you're gonna rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings and you'll take to the sky
But till that morning there ain't nothing can harm you
With daddy and mommy, mommy standing by

One of these mornings you're gonna rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings and you'll take to the sky
But till that morning there ain't nothing can harm you
With daddy and mommy, mommy standing by
So hush little baby, baby don't you cry

Somewhere lyrics - Eva Cassidy

Is time my redeemer?
Loneliness my only friend?
Just once in a lifetime
Strangers share a common end
And I like an arrow
Straight for love I went again
And you like tomorrow
Never knowing where an when.

Somewhere, somehow
At sometime someone cared
Maybe just for a moment
Or maybe for a lifetime
Are the threads that bind us together
Falling loose or growing stronger?
Look at it now, look at the picture
Has it changed or is it still the same?

Hear, hear, hear, hear...

Drowning In The Sea Of Love lyrics - Eva Cassidy

I've been down one time
And I've been down two times
But right now I'm drowning
Drowning in the sea of love
I've been out here for so very long
I've lost all my direction
Baby, when you came my way
I thought I had found my protection
But a strong wind came into my life
It surely took me by surprise
I can't seem to control these tears
That are falling from my eyes
I've been down one time
And I've been down two times
But right now I'm drowning
Drowning in the sea of love
Sea of love
Baby, I depended on you
For our love navigation
Now you've gone and deserted me
Can't you see that I'm in desperation
I'm in the middle of a bad love storm
Ooh yeah I wasn't ready for
I look around and all I can see
Is water pouring over me
I've been down one time
And I've been down two times
But right now I'm drowning
Drowning in the sea of love

I've been out here for so very long
I've lost all my direction
Baby, when you came my way
I thought I had found my protection
But a strong wind came into my life
It surely took me by surprise
I can't seem to control these tears
That are falling from my eyes
I've been down one time
And I've been down two times
But right now I'm drowning
Drowning in the sea of love
Drowning in the sea of love

True Colors lyrics - Eva Cassidy

You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness there inside you
Can make you feel so small

But I see your true colors
Shining through
See your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow

Show me a smile then,
Don't be unhappy, can't remember when I last saw you laugh
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there

And I see your true colors
Shining through
See your true colors
That's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow

Ohhhh
I can't remember when I last saw you laugh
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there

And I see your true colors
Shining through
See your true colors
That's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow

The Water Is Wide lyrics - Eva Cassidy

The water is wide I can not get o'er
And neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that will carry two
And both shall row my love and I

O love is handsome and love is fine
And love's a jewel when it's first new
But love grows old then waxes gold
And fades away like morning dew

There is a ship it's sailing the sea
It's loaded deep as deep can be
But not so deep as the love I'm in
I know not if I sink or swim

The water is wide I can not get o'er
And neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that will carry two
And both shall row my love and I
And both shall row my love and I

Hallelujah I Love Him So lyrics - Eva Cassidy

Let me tell you 'bout a boy I know
He's my baby and he lives next door
And every morning when the sun comes up
He brings me coffee in my favorite cup
That's why I know
Yes I know
Hallelujah, I just love him so

When I call him on the telephone
And tell him that I'm all alone
By the time I count from one to four
I hear him knockin' on my door
In the evenin' when the sun goes down
And there is nobody else around
He kisses me and he holds me tight
And whispers "Baby, everything is alright"
That's why I know
Yes I know
Hallelujah, I just love him so

When I call him on the telephone
And tell him that I'm all alone
By the time I count from one to four
I hear him knockin' on my door
In the evenin' when the sun goes down
And there is nobody else around
He kisses me and he holds me tight
And whispers "Baby, everything is alright"
That's why I know
Yes I know
Hallelujah, I just love him so
Yeah, Hallelujah, I just love him so
Oh, Hallelujah, I just love him so

God Bless The Child lyrics - Eva Cassidy

Them that's got shall get
Them that's not shall lose
So the Bible said and it still is news
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child who's got his own
Who's got his 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 who's got his own
Who's got his own

Money, you've got lots of friends
Hanging round your door
Then it's gone, and the money ends
They don't come around no more
Rich relations give
Crust of bread and such
You can help yourself baby
Oh don't you take too much
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child who's got his own
Who's got his own

Money, you've got lots of friends
Hanging round your door
Then it's gone, and the money ends
They don't come around no more
Rich relations give
Crust of bread and such
You can help yourself baby
Oh don't you take too much
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child who's got his own

Dark Eyed Molly lyrics - eva cassidy

Deep and dark are my true love's eyes,
Blacker still is the winter's turning,
As the sadness of parting proves.
And brighter now is the lantern burning
That lightens my path to love.

No fiddle tune will take the air,
But I will see his swift feet dancing
And the swirl of his dark brown hair,
His smiling face and his dark eyes glancing
As we stepped out Blinkbonny Fair.

And if my waiting prove in vain,
Then I will pack and track ever take me.
The long road will ease my pain.
No jewel of mankind would ever make me
Whisper love's words again.

For in drink I'll seek good company,
My ears will ring with the tavern's laughter,
And I'll hear not his last sweet sigh.
And who's to know in the morning after
How I long for his dear dark eyes
How I long for his dear dark eyes
How I long for his dear dark eyes

American Tune lyrics - Eva cassidy

Many's the time I've been mistaken
And many times confused
Many's the time I've been forsaken
And certainly abused
But it's all right, it's all right
You can't be forever blessed
When I think of another working day
I've just got to get some rest
I've got to get some rest

I don't know a soul who's not been battered
Don't have a friend who feels at ease
Don't know a dream that's not been shattered
Or driven to its knees
Oh but it's all right, it's all right
We've lived so well so long
And when I think of the road we've travelled on
So far away from home
So far away from home

And I dreamed I was dying
I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly
And looking back down at me
Smiled reassuringly
And I dreamed I was flying
And high up above my eyes could clearly see
The Statue of Liberty
Sailing away to sea
In a dream I was flying

We come on the ship they call the Mayflower
We come on the ship that sailed the moon
We come in the age's most uncertain hour
And we sing an American tune
Oh but it's all right, it's all right
You can't be forever blessed
And when I think of another working day
I've just got to get some rest
I've got to get some rest

It Don't Mean A Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing) lyrics - Eva Cassidy

It don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that swing
Doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah
It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing
Doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah
Makes no difference
If it's cool or hot
Cause you just got to give that rhythm
Everything you've got

Well it makes no difference
If it's cool or hot
Cause you just got to give that rhythm
Everything you've got
It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing
Doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah
Doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah
Doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah

Yesterday lyrics - Eva Cassidy

Oh yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away.
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly, I'm not half the girl I used to be.
There is a shadow hanging over me
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.

Why he had to go, I don't know,
He wouldn't say.
Oh I said some things wrong,
Now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Why he had to go, I don't know,
He wouldn't say.
I said some things wrong,
Now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

You Take My Breath Away lyrics - Eva Cassidy

Sometimes it amazes me
How strong the power of love can be
Sometimes you just take my breath away

You watch my love grow like a child
Sometimes gentle and sometimes wild
Sometimes you just take my breath away

And it's too good to slip by
Too good to lose
Too good to be there
Just to use
I'm gonna stand on a mountain top
And tell the news
That you take my breath away

Sometimes it amazes me
How strong the power of love can be
Sometimes you just take my breath away

Your beauty is there in all I see
And when I feel your eyes on me
Oh don't you know you just take my breath away

And it's too good to slip by
Too good to lose
Too good to be there
Just to use
I'm gonna stand on a mountain top
And tell the news
That you take my breath away

And it's too good to slip by
Too good to lose
Too good to be there
Just to use
I'm gonna stand on a mountain top
And tell the news
That you take my breath away

It Doesn't Matter Anymore lyrics - Eva Cassidy

There you go and baby, here am I.
Well, you left me here so I could sit and cry.
GOLLY gee, what have you done to me?
BUT I guess it doesn't matter any more

Do you remember baby, last September
How you held me tight, each and every night
Oh baby, how you drove me crazy
WELL I guess it doesn't matter any more

There AIN'T no use in me a-cryin'.
'CAUSE I've done everything and I'm sick of tryin'.
I've thrown away my nights,
Wasted all my days over you

Now you go your way, BABY, and I'll go mine
Now and forever till the end of time
AND I'll find somebody new and baby, we'll say we're through

And you won't matter anymore

There AIN'T no use in me a-cryin'.
'CAUSE I've done everything and now I'm sick of tryin'.
I've thrown away my nights,
Wasted all my days over you

Now you go your way, BABY, and I'll go mine
Now and forever till the end of time
AND I'll find somebody new and baby, we'll say we're through

YOU WON'T MATTER ANYMORE

YOU WON'T MATTER ANYMORE

YOU WON'T MATTER ANYMORE.

And you won't matter anymore

Fever lyrics - Eva Cassidy



Never know how much I love you, you never know how much I care
When you put your arms around me, I get a feeling that I just can't bear
You give me fever, when you kiss me, fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the morning, fever all through the night.

Bless my soul I love you, take this heart away
Take these arms I never use them
And just believe what my lips have to say
You give me fever, when you kiss me, fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the morning, fever all through the night

Listen to me baby, hear every word I say
No one can love you the way I do
Because they don't know how to love you my way
You give me fever, when you kiss me, fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the morning, fever all through the night

The sun lights up the daytime, the moon lights up at night
My eyes light up when you call my name,
Because I know you're gonna treat me right
You give me fever, when you kiss me, fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the morning, fever all through the night.
You give me fever, you give me fever, oh yeah,
Fever all through the night

Who Knows Where The Time Goes? lyrics - Eva Cassidy

Across the evening sky,all the birds are leaving
Oh but then you know, it was time for them to go
By the winter fire, I will still be dreaming
I do not count the time
for who knows where the time goes?
Who knows where the time goes?
Sad,deserted shore
your fickle friends are leaving
oh, but then you know it was time for them to go
But I will still be here
I have no thought of leaving
I do not count the time
for who knows where the time goes?
I know I'm not alone
while my love is near me
I know that its so until its time to go
All the storms in Winter and the birds in Spring again
I do not count the time
For who knows where the time goes?
who knows where the time goes?
who knows where the time goes?

You've Changed lyrics - Eva Cassidy

You've changed
That sparkle in your eyes is gone
Your smile is just a careless yawn
It's all over now
You've changed

You've changed
Your kiss is now are so blase
You're bored with me in every way
You're breaking my heart
You've changed

You've forgotten the words
I love you
Each memory that we've shared
You ignore every star above you
I can't realise that you ever cared

You've changed
You're not the angel I once knew
No need to tell me that we're through
It's all over now
You've changed

You've forgotten the words
I love you
Each memory that we've shared
You ignore every star above you
I can't realise that you ever cared

You've changed
That sparkle in your eyes is gone
Your smile is just a careless yawn
It's all over now
You've changed

Yeas It's over now
You've changed

Imagine lyrics - Eva Cassidy

Imagine there's no heaven.
It's easy if you try.
No hell below us,
Above us only sky.

Imagine all the people,
Living for today.

Imagine there's no countries.
It isn't hard to do.
Nothing to kill or die for,
And no religion too.

Imagine all the people,
Living life in peace. yu-huh.

You may say that I'm a dreamer,
But I'm not the only one.
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.

Imagine no possessions.
I wonder if you can.
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man.

Imagine all the people,
Sharing all the world. yu-huh.

You may say that I'm a dreamer,
But I'm not the only one.
I hope some day,
You'll join us,
And the world will live as one.

You may say that I'm a dreamer,
But I'm not the only one.
I hope some day,
You'll join us,
And the world will live as one.

Still Not Ready lyrics - Eva Cassidy


Don't make fun
We've just begun
Let's not play...
Just for today
Take it slow
You have to go
I think we're through...I'm still not ready for good times
Don't ask me why...
Never try laughter before sorrow...
Across the room
Let's not assume
We can forgive
The way of it
It's getting cold out...
so please close the open door and all the windows of my soul

Early Morning Rain lyrics - Eva Cassidy


[Chorus:]
In the early morning rain with a dollar in my hand
And an aching in my heart
And my pockets full of sand
I'm a long way from home
And I miss my loved ones so
In the early morning rain

Out on runway number 9
Big 77 set to go
But I'm stuck here on the ground
Where the cold winds blow
Your can't jump a jet plane like you can a freight train
So I best be on my way in the early morning rain

Hear her mighty engines roar
See the silver bird on high
She's away and westward bound far above my home she'll fly
Where the morning rain don't fall
And the sun always shines
She'll be flying past my home
In about 3 hours time

[Chorus]

Tennessee Waltz lyrics Eva cassidy

I was dancin' with my darlin' to the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to meet
I introduced her to my darlin' and while they were dancin'
My friend stole my sweetheart from me.

I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz
I know now just what I have lost
Yes, I lost my little darlin' the night they were playin'
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz.

I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz
I know now just what I have lost
Yes, I lost my little darlin' the night they were playin'
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz.

Oh, the beautiful Tennessee Waltz.

I Can Only Be Me lyrics - Eva Cassidy

Butterflies begin
From having been another
As a child is born, from being in a mother's womb
But how many times have you wished you were some other
than someone who you really are
Yeah who's to say that if all were uncovered
You will like what you see
You can only be you
Cause I can only be me

Flowers cannot bloom
Until it is their season
As we would not be there
Unless it was our destiny
But how many times have you wished to be in spaces
Time places than what you were
Yeah who's to say that unfamiliar places
You could anymore be loving you that you see
You can only be you
Cause I can only be me

Danny Boy lyrics - Eva Cassidy

Oh Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling.
From Glenn to Glenn and down the mountain side.
The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying.
'Tis you, 'tis you must go, and I must bide.

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow.
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow.
'Tis I'll be there in Sunshine or in Shadow
Oh Danny Boy, oh Danny Boy, I love you so.

But if you come, when all the roses are dying
And I am dead, as dead I well may be.
Go out and find the place where I am lying.
And kneel and say an "Ave" for me.

And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me
And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be.
Then you shall bend and tell me that you love me
I'll will sleep in peace until you come to me.

Emotional Step lyrics - Eva Cassidy

I know you've been hurt before
I've seen the pain
Your heart's been an open book
Revealing all to those
Who look deep into my eyes
Can't you realize
The love I just can't hide

And when a question comes to mind
With the answer lost in time
It's true I'll be right there by your side
I'll be all you'll ever need
If you trust in me
'Cause the only way you'll see
Is to listen to what your heart keeps telling you

Take that emotional step
And bring your love to me
I wanna be locked in your loving arms
I'll be right by your side
Take that emotional step
And fall in love
And my love will be forever yours

My love's knocking at your door
Don't hesitate
I know what you're searching for
A love so real you'll only feel
When you hold my hand
Love's alive again
And you will understand

And if the storm cloud appears
Love will guide us through the tears
It's true my love will be right there for you
Let me be your all and all
I'll never let you fall
You're gonna know the truth
That all this time your heart's been telling you

Take that emotional step
And bring your love to me
I wanna be locked in your loving arms
I'll be right by your side
Take that emotional step
And fall in love
And my love will be forever yours

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh

I'll be all you'll ever need
If you trust in me
'Cause the only way you'll see
Is to listen to what your heart keeps telling you

Take that emotional step
And bring your love to me
I wanna be locked in your loving arms
I'll be right by your side
Take that emotional step
Oh take that emotional step
And fall in love
And my love will be forever
You know my love will be forever yours

Take that emotional step
I wanna be locked in your loving arms
I'll be right by your side
Take that emotional step
(Oh oh oh oh)
And fall in love
I'm gonna be right there for you
Take that emotional step
I wanna be [fade out]

The Waiting Is Over lyrics - Eva cassidy

I asked a question looked to the sky
Waited to hear a reply
I wanted to know
What the future would hold
Would I spend my life looking for you

The waiting is over today
The waiting is over forever

I noticed a feeling awake in my heart
The moment my eyes turned to you
A warmth in my soul
That slowly took hold
The power of love takes control

The waiting is over today
The waiting is over forever

As I turned away I noticed a smile
A joyous gleam in your eye
I headed out laughing
You by my side
Together the rest of our life

Oh the waiting is over today
Yeah the waiting is over for ever
The waiting is over today
The waiting is over

You Are lyrics - Eva Cassidy

When we were oh so young
We played those silly games
Never knew about love
Would know it if it came

We swore we'd never part
Thing's would always be the same
As we got a little older
All things do change

But that was long ago
Seems a lifetime away
And I bet you didn't know
That I feel the same way today

You are the one (yeah yeah)
My heart goes crazy (crazy for you)
I can't explain
It's just the way that you are (you are)

Walking hand in hand
As we stroll along the shore
Not a care in the world (ah)
Who could ask for more

In the middle of the storm
In the middle of a storm
I can't seem to find my way
Turn around and I see you reaching out to me

But then the sun would rise (uh uh)
The start of a brand new day
Was it all in my mind
Or were you right here by my side

You are the one
My heart goes crazy
I can't explain
It's just the way that you are (oh yeah yeah)
You are the one

You are the one
My heart goes crazy (my heart goes crazy)
When I look at you baby
I can't explain (oh oh)
It's just the way that you are (oh oh oh oh)

You are the one that brightens up my day (day)
My heart goes crazy
When I hear you name
I can't explain
It's just the way that you are (oh yeah)

You are the one that brightens up my day (yeah)
(My day)
My heart goes crazy
When I hear your name
My heart goes crazy
When I hear your name (oh)
I can't explain
It's just the way that you are

You are the one that makes me come alive
My heart goes crazy (just to be by your side)
I can't explain
It's just the way that you are

[Scat]

You are the one

[Scat]

My heart goes crazy (oh yeah)
I can't explain
It's just the way that you are

(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman lyrics - Eva Cassidy


Looking out on the morning rain
I used to feel so uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day
Lord it made me feel so tired
Before the day I met you my life was so unkind
You're the key to my peace of mind

'Cause you make me feel you make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman

When my soul was in the lost-and-found
You came along to claim it
I didn't know just what was wrong with me
Till your kiss helped me name it
Now I'm no longer doubtful of what I'm living for
And if I make you happy I don't need to do more

'Cause you make me feel you make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman

Oh baby what you've done to me
You made me feel so good inside
And I just want to be close to you
You know you make me feel so alive

'Cause you make me feel you make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman

Oh you make me feel you make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman

Yeah you make me feel you make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman
Yeah

Little Children lyrics - Eva Cassidy

Dark night broken lights
A boy on the corner with his hands held high
He sees a gun sees an eye
But he'd rather get shot than give it up

Works for a violent man
Who expects to get money when he sees him again
And if he doesn't die on the corner tonight
It won't take too long to catch him

Children throw their lives away yeah
A little more dying every day

Little young man he ain't got a lot
But he'd sell his whole world just to get what you've got
He's not even sure if his body's hooked
But if he gets a little higher he could fly away

Little young lady watch her children play
There's two outside and one on the way
She hasn't seen her man in a thousand days
Since the police came around and took him away

Children throw their lives away
A little more dying every day

Children throw their lives away
A little more dying every day

Children throw their lives away yeah
A little more dying every day

Sirens scream through the empty streets
Headed to the scene of another mistake
One man hanging on the edge of life
The other one thrown in a bag

The children watch the children think
That the bottom line is that nothing's free
But it doesn't take much to end a life
When the thoughts stop coming out straight

Children throw their lives away
A little more every day

I've Got This Feeling lyrics - Eva cassidy


I've got this feeling
Deep down inside
And it makes me feel so good
I just can't disguise
If you'll allow me to take your hand
Gonna do my best oh
To make you understand

I've got this feeling
And I know you'll agree
There's a lot of love between us
That came so naturally
There's not a moment
That passes by
That I don't think of you

And here's the reason why (I've got this feeling)
I've got this feeling ('bout you and I)
Boy we can make it if we try
Oh we let our loves pass
Like two ships in the night
And I know that this love is so right
Oh oh

Let's walk together baby hand in hand
We'll turn our backs to see
One footprint in the sand
That's just to say that
We're together in love
Just a symbol that shows
That we are one (look in my eyes)

Look into my eyes (surely you'll find)
Surely you'll find (our souls combine)
Our souls combine

And we will be together in love
(I've got this feeling)
(That our love can survive)
And we're gonna make it last
Through the test of time
Let's stick together
Just you and I ('cause I know that this love)
(Is so right)
It's so right

I've got this feeling
That our love can survive
And we're gonna make it last
Through the test of time
Let's stick together just you and I
('Cause I know that this love)
(Is so right)
Oh oh oh (look in my eyes)

Look into my eyes (surely you'll find)
Surely you will find (our souls combine)
Our souls combine

And we will be together in love (I've got this feeling)
(That our love can survive)
And we're gonna make it last
Through the test of time
Let's stick together just you and I
'Cause I know
I know I know

That it feels so right (I've got this feeling)
('Bout you and I)
(Boy we can make it if we try)
We let our love pass (We let our love pass)
Like to ships in the night
And I know (and I know that this love)
(Is so right)

(I've got this feeling)
I've got this feeling (that our love can survive)
(And we're gonna make it last)
(Through the test of time
Let's stick together
Just you and I ('cause I know that this love)
(Is so right)

I've got this feeling (I've got this feeling)
(I've got this feeling)
Oh oh

When It's Too Late lyrics - Eva Cassidy

Mother looks into your room
All your favorite things
Never moving
Recall a night
You went out to have some fun
Racing down the road
Never returning
Tragedy can stop the beating heart
Society stops a life before it starts

Brother playing in the yard
Too young to understand
Never forgiving
He waits patiently
Through the slowly ending days
For the guiding hand
That's never returning
Foolishness disguised as having fun
Promises destroyed

When the night is done
When it's too late
To mend your broken heart
When it's too late
For a love that you can share
When it's too late
To show how much you need them
When it's too late
To show how much you care

Memories can't mend a broken heart
A human life so badly torn apart
Badly torn apart
Foolishness disguised as having fun
Promises destroyed
When the night is done
When it's too late

On The Inside lyrics - Eva Cassidy

Just going home to an empty room
I never thought I'd find someone
Who'd love me true

'Cause I know true love is on the inside
It's not something you can buy
It comes from a heart that's true
(True love is one the inside)

'Cause when you say that I love you
You know you've got to feel it too
True love is on the inside
It's not just the things you say
When words can just fade away
(True love is one the inside)
'Cause I don't need to be with you
To know the love I feel is true

You said you love me
Then she called
I heard you whisper Yes I love you
Something's wrong
Something's wrong
Oh you tell me that you love me
Am I the only one you see
Because if love is what you feel
How could you tell her what you're telling me

(True love is one the inside)
(It's not something you can buy)
It comes from a heart that's true
True love is one the inside

'Cause when you say that I love you
You know you've got to feel it too
True love is on the inside
It's not just the things you say
When words can just fade away
(True love is on the inside)
'Cause I don't need to be with you
To know the love I feel is true

You tell me that you love me
So I can fill your fantasies
But I won't be the love you need
Unless it's love in the first degree
True love is one the inside
It's not something you can buy
It comes from a heart that's true
True love is one the inside

'Cause when you say that I love you
You know you've got to feel it too
True love is on the inside
It's not just the things you say
When words can just fade away
(True love is on the inside)
'Cause I don't need to be with you
To know the love I feel is true

True love is one the inside
It's not something you can buy
Oh you can't buy my love
(True love is on the inside)
'Cause when you say that I love you
You know you've got to feel it too
Oh oh oh

Emotional Step (Radio Edit) lyrics - Eva Cassidy


I know you've been hurt before
I've seen the pain
Your heart's been an open book
Revealing all to those
Who look deep into my eyes
Can't you realize
The love I just can't hide

And when a question comes to mind
With the answer lost in time
It's true I'll be right there by your side
I'll be all you'll ever need
If you trust in me
'Cause the only way you'll see
Is to listen to what your heart keeps telling you

Take that emotional step
And bring your love to me
I wanna be locked in your loving arms
I'll be right by your side
Take that emotional step
And fall in love
And my love will be forever yours

My love's knocking at your door
Don't hesitate
I know what you're searching for
A love so real you'll only feel
When you hold my hand
Love's alive again
And you will understand

And if the storm cloud appears
Love will guide us through the tears
It's true my love will be right there for you
Let me be your all and all
I'll never let you fall
You're gonna know the truth
That all this time your heart's been telling you

Take that emotional step
And bring your love to me
I wanna be locked in your loving arms
I'll be right by your side
Take that emotional step
And fall in love
And my love will be forever yours

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh

I'll be all you'll ever need
If you trust in me
'Cause the only way you'll see
Is to listen to what your heart keeps telling you

Take that emotional step
And bring your love to me
I wanna be locked in your loving arms
I'll be right by your side
Take that emotional step
Oh take that emotional step
And fall in love
And my love will be forever
You know my love will be forever yours

Take that emotional step
I wanna be locked in your loving arms
I'll be right by your side
Take that emotional step
(Oh oh oh oh)
And fall in love
I'm gonna be right there for you
Take that emotional step
I wanna be [fade out]

Kathy's Song lyrics - Eva cassidy


I hear the drizzle of the rain
Like a memory it falls
Soft and warm continuing
Tapping on my roof and walls

My mind's distracted and confused
My thoughts are many miles away
They lie with you when you're asleep
Kiss you when you start the day

And as I watch the drops of rain
Weave their weary paths and die
I know that I am like the rain
There before the grace of you go I

Ain't No Sunshine lyrics - Eva Cassidy

Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
It's not warm when he's away
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
And he always gone too long anytime he goes away
I wonder this time where he's gone
Wonder how long he's gonna stay
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime he goes away

Well I know I know I know...
When he's gone
Always gone too long anytime he goes away
Anytime he goes away
Anytime he goes away

The Letter lyrics - Eva Cassidy

Sell me a ticket for that airplane
I ain't got time to take a fast train
Lonely days are gone I'm coming home
My baby wrote me a letter

[Bridge]
And I don't care how much I gotta spend
I gotta get back to my baby again
Lonely days are gone I'm coming home
My baby wrote me a letter

[Chorus]
Well he wrote me a letter
Said he couldn't live without me no more
Ohh listen Mister can you see
I gotta get back to my baby once more anyway

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

Sell me a ticket for that airplane
I ain't got time to take a fast train
Lonely days are gone I'm coming home
My baby wrote me a letter

At Last lyrics - Eva Cassidy

At last my love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song
Ohh yeah
At last the skies above are blue
And my heart was wrapped in clover
The night I looked at you

I found a dream that I could speak to
A dream that I could call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known
Oh yeah yeah

You smiled ohh and then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
For you are mine at last
For you are mine at last

Time After Time lyrics - Eva Cassidy

Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick
And think of you
Caught up in circles confusion
Is nothing new
Flashback - warm nights
Almost left behind
Suitcases of memories
Time after

Sometimes you picture me
I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me, I can't hear
What you've said
Then you say - go slow
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds

[Chorus]
If you're lost you can look - and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you - I'll be waiting
Time after time

After my picture fades and darkness has
Turned to gray
Watching through windows - you're wondering
If I'm OK
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time

[Chorus]

You said go slow
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds

[Chorus]

Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time

Penny To My Name lyrics - Eva CAssidy

Bill and I got married following our first born
Daddy left this gas & convenience store just before he died
And I was only nineteen when I had my third baby
And sometimes I think maybe I should've left here long ago

Travellers are stopping by, check their oil and their p.s.i.
Gas up and away to fly, moving down the line
But this beat-up truck & worn out shoes always give me the blues
Billy sucking down the booze nearly every night

[Chorus]
I never seen the city lights
How they must shine so bright
Not like this country night
The sky's black as coal
And this gas-station mountain home
Not a thing to call my own
How I wish I was alone
With a penny to my name

Strangers say this mountain here is beautiful beyond compare
But it's just a dumb old mountain; I see it every day
If I could see sunset skies over fields of green or ocean-tides,
City skyline in the night, I'll be dancing till the dawn

[Chorus]

Bill and I got married following our first born
Daddy left this gas & convenience store just before he died
Maybe Bill & I someday will find a chance to get away
Until then it's here I'll stay wishing on a star

[Chorus]

I Wandered By A Brookside lyrics - Eva Cassidy

I wandered by a brookside
I wandered by a mill
I could not hear the water
The murmuring it was still
Not a sound of any grasshopper
Nor the chirp of any bird
But the beating of my own heart
Was the only sound I heard

The beating of my own heart
Was the only sound I heard

Then silent tears fast flowing
When someone stood beside
A hand upon my shoulder
I knew the touch was kind
He drew me near and nearer
We neither spoke one word
But the beating of our own two hearts
Was the only sound I heard

The beating of our own two hearts
Was the only sound I heard

I Wish I Was A Single Girl Again lyrics - Eva Cassidy

When I was single
I went dressed up so fine
Now I am married Lord
And I go ragged all the time
Oh, Lord, don't I wish I was a single girl again.

I got dishes to wash
And springs to go to
When you are married, Lord
You know you got it all to do.
Oh, Lord, don't I wish I was a single girl again.
Yeah, Oh, Lord, don't I wish I was a single girl again.
Yeah, Oh, Lord, don't I wish I was a single girl again.

Easy Street Dream lyrics - Eva Cassidy


It's Sunday morning
I can feel inside the facts
You shake out your body
And you wake up what's late
You spent too much money last night
And I had too much to drink
Spending too much time with myself
And I don't know what to think

Any love is easy
Falls down like rain
Any love is easy
Goes out with a bad name
Any love that you find on easy street
Can only be a dream
Any love that you find on easy street
Can only be a dream

It was only for pleasure
Our love took a backseat
My heart went crazy
And my whole life skipped a beat
Shallow deed took motion down to kill it after a taste
Staring to the future now I can only see your face

Any love is easy
Falls down like rain
Any love is easy
Goes out with a bad name
Any love that you find on easy street
Can only be a dream
Any love that you find on easy street
Can only be a dream
Only a dream
Only a dream...

Anniversary Song lyrics - Eva cassidy

Today has been a special day
An anniversary, a request
That you play your piano
As the evening sun slowly sets

[Chorus]
I never thought I'd get this old dear
Never had a reason to live so long
And the Lord's been like my shadow
Even when I was wrong
No I never thought it would turn out this way

A birthday with apologies
For all the tears and the rest
And I've always saved your poetry
For those years when you forget

[Chorus]

So sing with me softly
As the day turns to night
And later I'll dream of paradise with you
I love you and good night

Woodstock lyrics - Eva Cassidy

I came upon a child of God
He was walking along the road
And I asked him "Tell me where are you going?"
This he told me
"I'm going down to Yasgur's farm
Gonna join in a rock and roll band
Got to get back to the land
And get my soul free"

We are stardust, we're golden
And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden

Can I walk along beside you
I have come here to lose the smog
And I feel like I'm a part
Of something turning round and round
And maybe it's the time of year
Maybe it's the time of man
And I don't know who I am
But life is for learning ...

We are stardust, we're golden
And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden

By the time we got to Woodstock
We were half a million strong
And everywhere was the song
And the celebration
And I dreamed I saw the bomber jet planes
Riding shotgun in the sky
And they were turning into butterflies
Above our nation ...

We are stardust, we're golden
And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden

Way Beyond The Blue lyrics - Eva Cassidy

Oh do Lord, oh do Lord
Oh do you remember me?
Oh do Lord, oh do Lord
Oh do you remember me?
Do Lord, oh do Lord
Oh do you remember me?
Way beyond the blue

Oh I've got a home in Glory Land
That outshines the sun
Oh I've got a home in Glory Land
That outshines the sun
Oh I've got a home in Glory Land
That outshines the sun
Way beyond the blue

Oh do Lord, oh do Lord
Oh do you remember me?
Oh do Lord, oh do Lord
Oh do you remember me?
Oh do Lord, oh do Lord
Oh do you remember me?
Way beyond the blue

Hmm, mmm ?.
Way beyond the blue

Fields Of Gold lyrics - Eva Cassidy

You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in the fields of gold

So she took her love
For to gaze awhile
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold

Will you stay with me, will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in the fields of gold

See the west wind move like a lover so
Upon the fields of barley
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in the fields of gold
We'll walk in the fields of gold

Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold

Wade In The Water lyrics - Eva Cassidy

[Refrain:]
Wade in the Water
Wade in the Water children
Wade in the Water, God's gonna trouble the Water

Who's that young girl dressed in red
Wade in the Water
Must be the Children that Moses led
God's gonna trouble the Water

[Refrain]

Who's that young girl dressed in white
Wade in the Water
Must be the Children of Israeli
God's gonna trouble the Water

[Refrain]

Who's that young girl dressed in blue
Wade in the Water
Must be Children that's coming true
God's gonna trouble the Water

[Refrain]

You don't believe I did begin to wade in the Water
Just see the holy ghost looking for me
God's gonna trouble the Water

[Refrain]

Autumn Leaves lyrics - Eva Cassidy

The falling leaves
Drift by my window.
The falling leaves of red and gold.

I see your lips,
the summer kisses,
the sunburned hands I used to hold.

Since you went away
the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter song
But i miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

Since you went away
the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter song
But i miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

Wayfaring Stranger lyrics - Eva Cassidy

[Verse 1]
I am a poor wayfaring stranger,
While journeying through,
This world of woe,
Yeah, and there's no sickness,
toil nor danger,
In that bright land,
To which i go.

[Chorus]
I'm going there to see my Father,
I'm going there,
No more to roam,
I'm only go,
Going over jordan,
I'm only go,
Going over home.

[Verse 2]
I know dark clouds,
Will gather on me,
I know my way,
My way is rough and steep,
Yeah, and beautiful fields,
Lie just before me,
And God's redeemed
Their vigils keep.

[Chorus]
I'm going there to see my Father,
I'm going there,
No more to roam,
I'm only go,
Going over jordan,
I'm only go,
Going over home.

I'm going there to see my Mother,
I'm going there,
No more to roam,
I'm only go,
Going over jordan,
I'm only go,
Going over home.

[Verse 3]
I want to wear,
That crown of glory,
When I get home,
To that good land,
Well, I want to shout,
Salvation's story,
In concert with,
All the blood-washed band.

[Chorus]
I'm going there to see my Saviour,
I'm going there,
No more to roam,
I'm only go,
Going over jordan,
I'm only go,
Going over home,
Well, I'm only go,
Going over home,
Yeah, only....[repeat till fade]

Songbird lyrics - Eva Cassidy

For you, there'll be no crying
For you, the sun will be shining
'Cause I feel that when I'm with you
It's alright
I know it's right

And the songbirds keep singing like they know the score
And I love you, I love you, I love you
Like never before

To you, I would give the world
To you, I'd never be cold
'Cause I feel that when I'm with you
It's alright
I know it's right

And the songbirds keep singing like they know the score
And I love you, I love you, I love you
Like never before
Like never before
Like never before

Time Is A Healer lyrics - Eva Cassidy

I found a picture of your smiling face
Bringing old memories that I had locked away
The burden of anger from a heart filled with pain
Was finally lifted and I smile at you again

[Chorus:]
If time is a healer
Then all hearts that break
Are put back together again
‘Cause love heals the wound it makes

I spoke such harsh words before goodbye
Well I wanted to hurt you for the tears you made
You made me cry
All my hopes and dreams, well they started vanishing
Those tender hurt feelings became a dangerous thing

[Chorus:]

All of those years we spent together
Well they're part of my life forever
I hold the joy with the pain
And the truth is I miss you my friend

[Chorus:]

Well time is a healer...

I Know You By Heart lyrics - Eva Cassidy


Midnights in winter
The glowing fire
Lights up your face in orange and gold
I see your sweet smile
Shine through the darkness
Its line is etched in my memory
So I'd know you by heart

Mornings in april
Sharing the secrets
We'd walk until the morning was gone
We were like children
Laughing for hours
The joy you gave me
Lives on and on
'Cause I know you by heart

I still hear your voice
On warm summer nights
Whispering like the wind

ohhh, ohhhh, ohhhhh, ohhhh

You left in autumn
The leaves were turning
I walked down roads of orange and gold
I saw your sweet smile
I heard your laughter
You're still here beside me
Everyday
'Cause I know you by heart
'Cause I know you by heart

People Get Ready lyrics - Eva Cassidy

People get ready
There's a train a-coming
You don't need no baggage
You just get on board
All you need is faith
To hear diesels humming
You don't need no ticket
You just thank the Lord
Yeah yeah yeah

People get ready
For the train to Jordan
Picking up passengers
From coast to coast
Faith is the key
Open the doors and board them
There's room for all
Among the loved and lost

Now there ain't no room
For the hopeless sinner
Who's hard on mankind
Just to save his own
Have pity on those
Whose chances are thinner
Cause there's no hiding place
From the Kingdom's Throne

Ohh people get ready
There's a train a-coming
You don't need no baggage
You just get on board
All you need is faith
To hear diesels a-humming
You don't need no ticket
You just thank the Lord
Yeah yeah yeah

I'm getting ready
I - I'm ready yeah yeah yeah
Oh I'm getting ready oh - oh
I'm ready yeah

Oh, Had I A Golden Thread lyrics - Eva Cassidy

Oh, had I a golden thread
And a needle so fine
I would weave a magic spell
Of a rainbow design
Of a rainbow design

In it I would weave the courage
Of women giving birth
And in it I would weave the innocence
Of the children of all the earth
Children of all the earth

I want to show my brothers and sisters
My rainbow design
Cause I would bind up this sorry world
With hand and heart and mind
Oh, hand and heart and mind

Oh, had I a golden thread
And a needle so fine
I would weave a magic spell
Of a rainbow design
Of a rainbow design

Over The Rainbow lyrics - Eva Cassidy

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
In the land that I heard of once, once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.

Someday I'll wish upon a star,
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me.

[Instrumental]

Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me.

Somewhere over the rainbow blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow why then, oh why can't I?

If happy little blue birds fly across the rainbow
Why oh why can't I?

Wayfaring Stranger lyrics - Eva Cassidy


[Verse 1]
I am a poor wayfaring stranger,
While journeying through,
This world of woe,
Yeah, and there's no sickness,
toil nor danger,
In that bright land,
To which i go.

[Chorus]
I'm going there to see my Father,
I'm going there,
No more to roam,
I'm only go,
Going over jordan,
I'm only go,
Going over home.

[Verse 2]
I know dark clouds,
Will gather on me,
I know my way,
My way is rough and steep,
Yeah, and beautiful fields,
Lie just before me,
And God's redeemed
Their vigils keep.

[Chorus]
I'm going there to see my Father,
I'm going there,
No more to roam,
I'm only go,
Going over jordan,
I'm only go,
Going over home.

I'm going there to see my Mother,
I'm going there,
No more to roam,
I'm only go,
Going over jordan,
I'm only go,
Going over home.

Blues In The Night lyrics - Eva Cassidy

My mama done tol' me,
When I was in knee pants,
My mama done tol' me,
Son! A woman'll sweet talk
And give ya the big eye;
But when the sweet talkin's done,
A woman's a two face
A worrisome thing
Who'll leave ya t'sing
The blues in the night

Now the rain's a fallin',
Hear the train a collin'
Whoo-ee (my mama done tol' me)
Hear dat lonesome whistle
Blowin' cross the trestle,
Whoo-ee (my mama done tol' me)
A whoo-ee-duh-whoo-ee, ol' clickety clack's
A echoin' back th' blues in the night

The evenin' breeze'll start the trees to cryin'
And the moon'll hide its light
When you get the blues in the night

Take my word, the mockin' bird'll
Sing the saddest kind o' song
He knows things are wrong and he's right
From Natchez to Mobile,
From Memphis to St. Joe,
Wherever the four winds blow,
I been in some big towns,
An' heard me some big talk,
But there is one thing I know
A woman's a two face,
A worrisome thing
Who'll leave ya t'sing the blues in the night
My mama was right, there's blues in the night

Songbird lyrics - Eva Cassidy

For you, there'll be no crying
For you, the sun will be shining
'Cause I feel that when I'm with you
It's alright
I know it's right

And the songbirds keep singing like they know the score
And I love you, I love you, I love you
Like never before

To you, I would give the world
To you, I'd never be cold
'Cause I feel that when I'm with you
It's alright
I know it's right

And the songbirds keep singing like they know the score
And I love you, I love you, I love you
Like never before
Like never before
Like never before

Need Your Love So Bad lyrics - Eva Cassidy

I need someone's hand to lead me through the night
I need someone's arms to hold and squeeze me tight
And when the night begins and until it ends
Oh baby I need your love so bad

I need someone's lips to feel next to mine
I need someone to stand up and tell me when I'm lying
And when the lights are low and till it's time to go
Mmm I need your love so bad

So go home and give it up baby, bring it on home to me
Write it on a piece of paper so that it can be read to me
Tell me that you love me, stop driving me mad
Oh 'cause I need, I need your love so bad

I need a soft voice to talk to me at night
Don't you worry baby, we won't fuss and fight
So listen to my plea and bring it on home to me
Ohh I need your love so bad

So go on and give it up, bring it on home to me
Oh put it on a piece of paper so it can be read to me
So tell me that you love me, please stop driving me mad
'Cause I need, I need your love so bad

I need a soft voice to talk to me at night
Well don't you worry baby, we won't fuss and fight
So listen to my plea and bring it on home to me
Ohh I need your love so bad

Ohh because I need your love so bad
Ohh I need, ohh I need your love so bad, oh yeah.

Say Goodbye lyrics - Eva Cassidy

It's funny how the distance can make you feel close
And the things you lost are the things you want most
The weather's fine here ' perfect shade of blue
I guess that's why I've been thinking of you

[Chorus]
So I call you up just to tell you why
Why I left you and say goodbye
Ooh must be the mood I'm in
I'm thinking of you again
I call you up just to tell you why
Why I left you and say goodbye

I know you're different now and I guess I changed too
And I thought what was once so right was so wrong for you
Yesterday I was talking and I heard your name
The weather's fine here with a slight chance of rain

[Chorus]

Time makes you sorry for the things that you've done
Sometimes you walk away and sometimes you run
And the weather's fine here; I can feel a slight chill
Somethings change babe and some never will

[Chorus]

I call you up just to tell you why
To say I love you and to say goodbye

Nightbird lyrics - Eva Cassidy

Some old hotel room in Memphis
I see the city through the rain
I'm just chasing me my time
And remembering some pain

See there once was a boy
And on the street he'd surely die
But the nightbird took him in
And she taught him how to fly

See the nightbird softly fly
Why does she fly alone?
Is the moonlight just a flame for her memory?
Now she's gone

Two bit bars and honky tonks
Any pleasure can be found
You can get just what you want
If you lay your money down

And loney sailors do their drinking
My, my, my how the brave men do die
And the nightbird sells her pleasures
Bringing tears to my eyes

See the nightbird softly fly
Why does she fly alone
Is the moonlight just a flame for her memory
Now she's gone

So I guess I'll go out walking
Lord, let the rain keep falling down
I guess I'll go chase some memories
On the dark side of town

See the nightbird softly fly
Why does she fly alone
Is the moonlight just a flame for her memory
Now she's gone

Waly, Waly lyrics - Eva Cassidy

When cockle shells turn into silvery bells,
then will my love return to me.
When roses grow in the wintery snow,
then will my love return to me.

Oh waly, waly, love be by me
and bright as a jewel when first new...

But love grows old, and waxes cold,
and fades away like morning dew.

There is a ship, it sails the sea,
It's loaded high and (as) deep can be.
But not so deep as my love for you.
I know not if I sink or swim.

Oh waly, waly, love be by me
Bright as a jewel when first new...

But love grows old and waxes cold,
and fades away like morning dew

How Can I Keep From Singing? lyrics - Eva Cassidy

Mmm...

My life goes on in endless song
above earth's lamentations,
I hear the real, though far-off hymn
that hails a new creation.

Through all the tumult and the strife
I hear it's music ringing,
It sounds an echo in my soul.
How can I keep from singing?

Oh though the tempest loudly roars,
I hear the truth, it liveth.
Oh though the darkness 'round me close,
Songs in the night it giveth.

No storm can shake my inmost calm,
While to that rock I'm clinging.
Since love is lord of heaven and earth
How can I keep from singing?

When tyrants tremble in their fear
And hear their death knell ringing,
When friends rejoice both far and near
How can I keep from singing?

No storm can shake my inmost calm,
While to that rock I'm clinging.
Since love is lord of heaven and earth
How can I keep from singing?

My life goes on in endless song
Above earth's lamentations,
I hear the real, though far-off hymn
How can I keep from singing?

Lord, how can I keep from singing?
Oh, how can I keep from singing?

Cheek To Cheek lyrics - Eva Cassidy

Heaven, I'm in heaven
and my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek

Oh, heaven, I'm in heaven
and the cares that hung around me through the week
Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek

Oh, I love to go out fishing
in an ocean or a creek
But it wouldn't thrill me half as much as
dancing cheek to cheek

Oh, I love to climb a mountain
and reach the highest peak
But it wouldn't thrill me half as much as
dancing cheek to cheek

Won't you come and dance with me
I want my arms about you
The charms about you
will carry me through
To heaven, I'm in heaven
The cares that hung around me through the week
Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek
Oh, won't you come and dance with me
I want my arms about you
The charms about you
will carry me through
To heaven, I'm in heaven
The cares that hung around me through the week
seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
Oh, when we're out together
out together
When we're out together
dancing cheek to cheek

Stormy Monday lyrics - Eva Cassidy

They call it stormy Monday but Tuesdays just as bad
They call it stormy Monday but Tuesdays just as bad
Wednesday is worse and Thursdays also sad

The eagle flies on Friday; Saturday I go out to play
The eagle flies on Friday; Saturday I go out to play
Sunday I go to church, hmm,
Thats when I get down on my knees and pray

I said Lord have mercy,
Oh Lord, Lord, Lord have mercy on me
Yeah Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord have mercy on me
Don't you know I'm just trying to find my baby
Won't somebody please send him on home to me
Oh yeah

Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy on me,
Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy on me,
Don't you know I'm just trying to find my baby
Won't somebody please send him on home to me

Bridge Over Troubled Water lyrics - Eva Cassidy

When you're weary, feeling small
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all;
I'm on your side. When times get rough
And friends just can't be found,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

When you're down and out,
When you're on the street,
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you.
I'll take your part.
When darkness comes
And pain is all around,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

Sail on silvergirl
Sail on by.
Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.
If you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.

Fine And Mellow lyrics - Eva Cassidy


My man don't love me
He treats me so mean
My man don't love me
He treats me so mean
Well he's the, lowest man
That I've ever seen

He wears high trimmed pan
Stripes are really yellow
Well he wears high trimmed pan
Stripes are really yellow
But when he starts to love me
He's so fine and mellow

Love will make you gamble
And stay out all night long
Love will make you gamble
And stay out all night long
Love will make you do things
You always thought was wrong

But if you treat me right baby
I'll stay home everyday
Said if you treat me right baby
I'll stay home everyday
But you're so darned mean
I just know you're gonna drive me away

But if you treat me right baby
I'll stay home everyday
Said if you treat me right baby
I'll stay home everyday
But you're so darned mean
I just know you're gonna drive me away

Love is like a faucet
It turns off and on
Love is like a faucet
It turns off and on
Sometimes when you think it's on baby
It's turned off and gone

Blue Skies lyrics - eva cassidy

Blue skies smiling on me
Nothing but blue skies do I see
Blue birds singing a song
Nothing but blue skies from now on.

I never saw the sun shining so bright
When you're in love everythings right
Watching all the days hurrying by
When you're in love my how they fly

Those blue days all of them gone
And nothing but blue sky from now on

Tall Trees In Georgia lyrics - Eva Cassidy

Tall trees in Georgia,
They grow so high
They shade me so
And sadly walking
Through the thicket I go

The sweetest love I ever had
I left aside
Because I did not want
To be any mans bride
But now I'm older
And married I would be
I found my sweetheart
But he would not marry me

When I was younger
The boys all came around
But now I'm older
And they've all settled down
Control your mind my girl
And give your heart to one
For if you love all men
You'll be surely left with none

Tall trees in Georgia,
They grow so high
They shade me so
And sadly walking
Through the thicket I go

Fields Of Gold lyrics - Eva Cassidy

You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in the fields of gold

So she took her love
For to gaze awhile
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold

Will you stay with me, will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in the fields of gold

See the west wind move like a lover so
Upon the fields of barley
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in the fields of gold
We'll walk in the fields of gold

Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold

Autumn Leaves lyrics - Cassidy



The falling leaves
Drift by my window.
The falling leaves of red and gold.

I see your lips,
the summer kisses,
the sunburned hands I used to hold.

Since you went away
the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter song
But i miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

Since you went away
the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter song
But i miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

Honeysuckle Rose lyrics - Eva Cassidy

Every honey bee fills with jealousy
When they see you out with me
I don't blame them goodness knows
My honeysuckle rose

Fly was dropping side when you're passing by
And I know the reason why
You're much sweeter goodness knows
You're my honeysuckle rose

I don't buy sugar
You just have to touch my cup
You're my sugar
It's so sweet when you stir it up

On the avenue people look at you
And I know just why they do
You're much sweeter goodness knows
You're my honeysuckle rose

Every honey bee fills with jealousy
When they see you out with me
You're much sweeter goodness knows
You're my honeysuckle rose

Fly was dropping side when you're passing by
And I know the reason why
You're much sweeter goodness knows
You're my honeysuckle rose

And I don't buy sugar
You just have to touch my cup
You're my sugar
It's so sweet when you stir it up

You're much sweeter goodness knows
You're my honeysuckle rose

Take Me To The River lyrics - Eva Cassidy

I don't know why I love you like I do
After all the changes you put me through
Stole my money, my cigarettes
I haven't seen the worst of it yet

I wanna know boy, won't you tell me
Tell me how can I stay here with you

[Chorus]
Won't you take me to the river
Wash me down
Take me to the river
Put my feet back on the ground

I don't know why you treat me so bad
After all the good times that we've had
You're sixteen candles that burn on my wall
Now who's the biggest fool of us all

I wanna know, won't you tell me
Tell me how can I stay here with you

[Chorus]

Hold me squeeze me love me
And you can tease me
Till I can't take it no more
Oh yeah yeah yeah

I don't know why I love you like I do
After all the changes you put me through
Love is a notion I can't forget
My sweet sixteen I would never regret

I wanna know, won't you tell me
Tell me how can I stay here with you

[Chorus x2]

What A Wonderful World lyrics - Eva Cassidy

I see trees that are green, red roses too
I watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more, than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, ohh what a wonderful world

The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of the people passing by
I see friends shaking hands, saying, "how do you do?"
But they're really saying, "I love you"

I see trees that are green and red roses too
I watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, oh what a wonderful world

The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of the people passing by
I see friends shaking hands, saying, "how do you do?"
But they're really saying, "I love you

I see trees that are green and red roses too
I watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, oh what a wonderful world

I think to myself, ooh what a wonderful world

Oh, Had I A Golden Thread lyrics - Eva cassidy

Oh, had I a golden thread
And a needle so fine
I would weave a magic spell
Of a rainbow design
Of a rainbow design

In it I would weave the courage
Of women giving birth
And in it I would weave the innocence
Of the children of all the earth
Children of all the earth

I want to show my brothers and sisters
My rainbow design
Cause I would bind up this sorry world
With hand and heart and mind
Oh, hand and heart and mind

Oh, had I a golden thread
And a needle so fine
I would weave a magic spell
Of a rainbow design
Of a rainbow design

Let The Good Times Roll lyrics - Eva Cassidy

Hey everybody
Let's have some fun
You only live once
But when you're dead you're gone

So let the good times roll
Well let the good times roll
Well it makes no difference
If you're young or old
Just get together
And let the good times roll

Hey don't sit there mumbling
Talkin' trash
If you wanna have a ball
You gotta spend some cash
Let the good times roll
Oh yeah let the good times roll

Makes no difference
If you're young or old
Oh let the good times roll

[Scat]

Tell everybody Chuck Brown is in town
A dollar and a quarter
He's just wearing a crown
1 Don't let no female play me cheap
I got fifty cents more
Than I'm gonna keep

So let the good times roll
Yeah let the good times roll
Don't make no difference
If you're young or old
Just get together and
Let the good times roll

No matter whether rainy weather
If you wanna have a ball
You've got to get yourself together
Get under control and
Let the good times roll

(Now what you gonna do)
(Yeah)

Fever lyrics - Eva Cassidy

Never know how much I love you, you never know how much I care
When you put your arms around me, I get a feeling that I just can't bear
You give me fever, when you kiss me, fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the morning, fever all through the night.

Bless my soul I love you, take this heart away
Take these arms I never use them
And just believe what my lips have to say
You give me fever, when you kiss me, fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the morning, fever all through the night

Listen to me baby, hear every word I say
No one can love you the way I do
Because they don't know how to love you my way
You give me fever, when you kiss me, fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the morning, fever all through the night

The sun lights up the daytime, the moon lights up at night
My eyes light up when you call my name,
Because I know you're gonna treat me right
You give me fever, when you kiss me, fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the morning, fever all through the night.
You give me fever, you give me fever, oh yeah,
Fever all through the night
