Clearly Love

(linda hargrove)

A woman needs attention like the flowers need the sun
Without that attention, a woman feels undone
Now i'm like a flower that's been standin' in the rain
Hopin' and a-prayin' that the sun would shine again

Is there anybody out there who can shine?
Anytime would be fine
Is there anybody out there who can glow
And would like to see a little flower grow?
Shine on me, let it shine

A woman needs a lovelight to keep her body warm
You know without that lovelight, well a mind can do her harm
Now that light's gone out for me and i'm standin' in the dark
Hopin' and a-prayin' just to see a little spark

Is there anybody out there who can shine?
Anytime would be fine
Is there anybody out there who can glow
And would like to see this woman's lovelight show?
Shine on me, let it shine

Is there anybody out there who can shine?
Anytime would be fine
Is there anybody out there who can glow
And would like to see a little flower grow?
Shine on me, let it shine

Well i'm gonna raise a fuss and i'm gonna raise a holler
I've been working all summer just to try to earn a dollar
Well the time will come when baby, i try to get a date
My boss says ["no dice, girl, you gotta work late."]

Sometimes i wonder what i'm a-gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

Well my mom and brother told me girl you gotta make some money
If you want to use the car to go riding next sunday
Well i didn't go to work--i told the boss i was sick
[you can't use the car cause you didn't work late.]

Sometimes i wonder what i'm a-gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

I'm gonna take two weeks--gonna have a fine vacation
Gonna take my problem to the united nations
Well i called the congressman and he said quote
["i'd like to help you honey but you're too young to vote."]

Sometimes i wonder what i'm a-gonna do
And there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
Ain't no cure
No no

If a ship of dreams bid me come, would i board it?
If i had their gold in my hands, would i hoard it?
If i knew the trials i must face, would i carry on at all?

Sail into tomorrow, living day to day
That's all i can afford to do and all i'll ever pay
Is a song to sing to thank you for making me alive
And a prayer to bring me comfort--lord help us to survive

If his pretty eyes shone my way, would i leave you?
If i wasn't sure he would stay, would i deceive you?
If i had to melt you with promises, would they stand or fall?

Sail into tomorrow, living day to day
That's all i can afford to do and all i'll ever pay
Is a song to sing to thank you for making me alive
And a prayer to bring you comfort--lord help us to survive

If time should call me a fool, would i laugh or would i care?
Sail into tomorrow, living day to day
That's all i can afford to do and all i'll ever pay
Is a song to sing to thank you for making me alive
And a prayer to bring you comfort--lord help us to survive

The road is long with many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where, who knows when
But i'm strong--strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

So on we go--his welfare is my concern
No burden is he to bear--we'll get there
For i know he would not encumber me
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

If i'm laden at all--i'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart isn't filled with the gladness of love for one another
It's a long, long road from which there is no return
While we're on our way to there
Why not share?

And the load--it doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
He ain't heavy. he's my brother

I try to be patient--i try not to moan
But it's driving me crazy trying to live here alone
My conversation gets nowhere when i talk to myself
I've lost my sense of humor somewhere here on the shelf

The moon is wasting its shine shining on me
Until i see you again
I won't be out in the moonlight
And i'll be sleeping by ten
The birds are wasting their song singing to me
Until i'm waking with you
Until you're back in my arms dear
The birds will have to find something better to do

A shoulder to cry on would make me feel fine
But it's not much comfort when i'm crying on mine
Friends and relations are running out of patience with me
I keep myself to myself but i'm no company

The moon is wasting its shine shining on me
Until i see you again
I won't be out in the moonlight
And i'll be sleeping by ten
The birds are wasting their song singing to me
Until i'm waking with you
Until you're back in my arms dear
The birds will have to find something better to do
Baby, till you're back in my arms
The birds will have to find something better to do
