I'll Take A Melody
I'll Take A Melody
(Toussaint)
I've seen the rain pouring down The sky was grey with a speck of blue
Peek through a hole in the clouds The sun was screaming, "Hey You!".
As you ramble through your sorrow Seems like everything come out wrong
I'm living in yesterday's tomorrows I know something's helping me along
I'll take a melody and see what I can do about it.
I'll take a simple C and G and feel brand now about it.
I understand why the old fisherman
sail along, sail along, sail along. sail along, sail along,
someday he'll be gone
I hear you talking about your troubles
Everybody's got their troubles too
You can make them burst like bubbles
If you know just what to do
You know I've been called a dreamer
Dreams that never come true
But I've been called so many things before
Tell you what I'm gonna do
I'll take a melody and see what I can do about it.
I'll take a simple C and G and feel brand now about it.
I understand why the old fisherman
sail along, sail along, sail along. sail along, sail along,
someday he'll be gone
I'll take a melody and see what I can do about it.
I'll take a simple C and G and feel brand now about it.
Shine on, keep on shining, shine on,
keep on shining, shine on, keep on shining,
Shine on, keep on shining, shine on,
keep on shining, shine on, keep on shining,
Shine on, keep on shining, shine on,
keep on shining, shine on, keep on shining,
Shine on, keep on shining, shine on,
keep on shining, shine on, keep on shining,
