Lawd You Made The Night Too Long
Lawd you made the night too long
You made the river flow
The flowers grow
You made the weak and the strong
But Lawd, you made the night too long
You made the robin sing
A song of Spring
And me you gave a lonely song
Oh Lawd, that's why the night's so long
I've got a heart and I've got a cabin
The door is open wide
What good's a heart and what good's a cabin
If nobody lives inside
You made the mountain high
The Earth, the sky
So who am I to say you're wrong?
But Lawd, you made the night too long
You gave me arms
But they're empty
You gave me hope
It's empty too
I'm singing hallelujah
Hallelujah to ya
Believin' in you
Believin' in you
You made a river flow
You made the flowers grow
You made the weak and the strong
Mmmm
Lawd, you made the night too long
You made the robin sing
A happy song of Spring
You gave me a lonely song
Mmmm
Lawd, you made the night too long
I've got a heart and I've got a cabin
My door is open wide
What good's a heart
What good's a cabin
If nobody lives inside
You made the mountains
The Earth and the sky
To say you're wrong
Who am I?
It's not my fault
My heart keeps cryin'
Lawd, you made the night too long
Mmmm
Mmmm
Mmmm
Mmmm
Oh, Lawd
Oh, Lawd
You made the river flow
The flowers grow
You made the weak and the strong
But Lawd, you made the night too long
You made the robin sing
A song of Spring
And me you gave a lonely song
Oh Lawd, that's why the night's so long
I've got a heart and I've got a cabin
The door is open wide
What good's a heart and what good's a cabin
If nobody lives inside
You made the mountain high
The Earth, the sky
So who am I to say you're wrong?
But Lawd, you made the night too long
You gave me arms
But they're empty
You gave me hope
It's empty too
I'm singing hallelujah
Hallelujah to ya
Believin' in you
Believin' in you
You made a river flow
You made the flowers grow
You made the weak and the strong
Mmmm
Lawd, you made the night too long
You made the robin sing
A happy song of Spring
You gave me a lonely song
Mmmm
Lawd, you made the night too long
I've got a heart and I've got a cabin
My door is open wide
What good's a heart
What good's a cabin
If nobody lives inside
You made the mountains
The Earth and the sky
To say you're wrong
Who am I?
It's not my fault
My heart keeps cryin'
Lawd, you made the night too long
Mmmm
Mmmm
Mmmm
Mmmm
Oh, Lawd
Oh, Lawd
