Jazz up your life, Sunday to Thursday, with Yo Dai on All That Jazz. Now we'd like to do a wonderful little ballad about death. In the morning, our kisses deep and warm. Your hair upon the pillow, like a sleepy golden stone. Many love before.

I know we are not new In city and in forest They love like me and you Now it's come to distances And both of us must try Your eyes fill with sorrow That's no way I'm not looking for another As I wander in my time Walk me to the corner

I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep upon the pillow, like a sleepy golden storm. Many love before, and in city and in forest, they love like me and you, but now it's come to distances, both of us must try. Your eyes filled with sorrow, it has no way.

to say goodbye i'm not looking for another as i wander in my time walk me to the corner our steps will always rhyme you know mom your love stays with me just the way life changes like the shoreline of the sea but let's not talk of love or change things we can untie your eyes

This is a song about a very big, strong, black, sexy Southern Baptist minister who thinks that he has his program all together until he runs up against a lady

who shows him that he ain't got it together. His name is Reverend Dr. Lee. Reverend Lee. He went to the water and he prayed to the old Satan's dog. It seems in a dream child he lay asleep. She climbed his bed starts rubbing and weeping. Oh, she was twisting and weeping.

She was begging and pleading, panting and breathing. She said, Lord knows I love you, child. I would not leave. He lifted his arms high, said, Heavenly Father.

Take me home to the sky. He said, Lord, please don't test me. Knock down where she touched me. Mine is so heavy. Body is hungry. I'll roll the thunder. Herbal light to the angry. Sure, I never.

Your God will not bother.

Oh, do it to me, do it to me, do it to me.

And here you'll stay Don't ask And don't ask how Don't ask for This love of mine Had no beginning I was an oak I'm a willow See Won't you stay Don't ask of me Don't ask how

Don't I love you? Love me now. This love of mine had no beginning. I wasn't old enough, but I can bend. Though I'll never see you, won't you stay until it's time for you.

The Impossible Dream

The impossible dream To fight the unbeatable foe And to bear with unbearable sorrow To run where the brave dare not go And to ride the unrideable To love pure and chaste And to try when your arms are too rich
