Lord, if you took me now I’d be a happy man
Lord, if you took me now I’d be a happy man
I’ve seen enough,
Got no place to go,
I’ve taken all that I can
Lord, if tomorrow never came I wouldn’t shed no tear
Lord, if tomorrow never came I wouldn’t shed no tear
With the life I’ve lived
Death ain’t nothing to fear
I held on through the darkest nights for a bright new day
I prayed, Lord, a little hope was gonna come my way
But now the verdict’s in
And there’s just one thing left to say
Lord, if you took me now I’d be a happy man
Lord, if you took me now I’d be a happy man
Now the writing’s on the wall
I’ve taken all that I can
I walked a long cold mile in another man’s shoes
I told myself I wouldn't ever sing the blues
But now the page has turned
And so I’ve learned I was born to lose
Ain’t got no woman, and I ain’t got no pride
Ain’t got nothing but this emptiness inside
If I could just believe I was wrong
I’d hold on, and Lord knows I’ve tried
I tried to drown my sorrow and I came up dry
I got so low I couldn’t even get high
And so I’m lying here
With no tears left to cry
Lord, if you took me now I’d be a happy man
Lord, if you took me now I’d be a happy man
I hear the curtains call
And I’ve taken all that I can
Author notes
Here's something for the man with nothing.
I still intend to record an instrumental arrangement for this, but that won't be until I buy a new guitar and brush up on my playing - still, nothing so lonely as an a capella.

I honestly did not see the youtube thing up there, but now, I'm listening and it's fantastic!
Awesome!!! -
You comment on my works with such high praise, but then I get to yours and discover that it deserves something eevn better than what you said about my works.
Marvelous write. Truly. One day, I'd love a CD. Hehe!

...amazing...

Dammit, why couldn't I write like this. Your voice & lyrics, sent shivers down my spine.
I had wrongly assumed you meant that recording wise you'd have instruments ie "a full on song" Forget that & my other comments. Your voice is the only instrument needed. Sheer brilliance. You got talent.
