Dinah Washington - 110 Essential Hits - Very Best of Dinah Washington

This Bitter Earth (with Belford Hendricks)

This bitter earth
Well, what fruit it bears
Ooooh, this bitter earth

And if my life is like the dust
Ooh that hides the glow of a rose
What good am I
Heaven only knows

Lord, this bitter earth
Yes, can be so cold
Today you're young
Too soon, you're old
But while a voice within me cries
I'm sure someone may answer my call
And this bitter earth
Ooooh may not
Oh be so bitter after all

This bitter earth
Lord, this bitter earth

What good is love
Mmmm that no one shares
And if my life is like the dust
Oooh that hides the glow of a rose

What good am I
Heaven only knows
