Sam Cooke: You Send Me

Time is short but feelings are strong Of course you’re singing our song First cranberry kiss sets me on fire Making my knees weak as I perspire Oh you send me on a long journey With the sun blazing the world turning Despite the times lack of civil rights Everything is fine in your arms tonight Your pearly smile plays me like a harp Words you weave now are amethyst art You whisper in my ear that I have your heart Marry me dear and we shall never part You send me to the moon and far beyond Like a flower I bloom in your sunny charm And the red hickey you leave on my neck Is like jewelry I hide least my folks be upset You thrill me honest you do Just like the song says it’s true And I loved you from the very first look Heavenly sounds of us sang by Sam Cooke
