Rhythm and Blues I'Ve Used
Has God ever sang to you
the song that was in His heart
That song you'll always remember
and played a certain part
of your life so vividly
it's never to depart
But always says remember
He gave to you
sorrow from His heart
One day while sitting at the bar
they played that certain song
It's words I'll always remember
it sang to me so strong
I'll never forget the bar tender
looking at me while it played
It gave to her a heart so tender
a secret bond was made
"The Tony Rich Project" sang "Nobody knows"
It said to me with in my heart
for me this song was composed
I couldn't hide the glaze of my eyes
as I knew God speaking to me
I alone only knew
the words were written for me
It wasn't long after that
the scene was the very same bar
C.C. said she loved me
but her love I'd disregard
The day she thought engagement day
would come with my rejection
"For You" a song by "Kenny Lattimore"
a song of her selection
While we danced she hugged me so tightly
the proof of love it gave
These many years have past
and God gave me one more song
The day of my bereavement
I played a certain song
I didn't know God was speaking
as I played that song
"I Call Your Name" by "Switch"
I played it all morning long
By then I knew all the words
but didn't know they were mine
I played it over and over
and kept saying one more time
If I knew then what I know now
That I had only once to show how
If I had one song to sing
while April were still alive
I'd ask her to the dance floor
and hold her really tight.
