My World

Ray Charles My World Lyrics
1.My World

Written:Bob Thiele/Jr./Billy Valentine/Phil Roy

The time has come to air my feelings
There's just so much confusion going down
I'm not the kind to be complaining
But sometimes you got to stand out from the crowd
Everyone's got their own opinion
And you know I sure got mine

It's my world
Don't you come a messin' with my world
I don't appreciate the fact some people just can't see
It's hurting you and me
It's my world
My world, your world, our world, one world

We all got to get it together
There's just no other place to go
If we can't find some peace with each other
Then we'll be dead before you know
I don't have all the answers
I'm just one man who's searching for a change

It's my world
Don't you come a messin' with my world
I don't appreciate the fact some people just can't see
It's hurting you and me
It's my world
My world, your world, our world, one world

I hear the cries of the people
From every single corner of this earth
Where's the love, the compassion
Where's the hope what's the future worth


2.A Song For You

Lyrics:Leon Russell
Music:Leon Russell

I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs, I've made some bad rhyme
I've acted out my life in stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now and I'm singin' this song for you

I know your image of me is what I hope to be, baby
I've treated you unkindly but girl can't you see
There's no one more important to me
So darling can't you please see through me
'cause we're alone now and I'm singin' my song for you

You taught me precious secrets of the truth, withholdin' nothin'
You came out in front and I was hiding
But now I'm so much better so if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody cause my love's in there hiding

I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for my life, 'cause you're a friend of mine
And when my life is over, remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singin' my song for you

I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I've loved you for my life, yes, you're a friend of mine
And when my life is over, remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singin' my song for you, yes
We were alone and I was singin' this song for you, baby
We were alone and I was singin' my song,
Singin' my song, singin' my song, singin' my song
Singin' my song

7.If I Could

Written:Ken Hirsch/Marti Sharron/Ron Miller

If I could
I'd protect you from the sadness in your eyes
Give you courage in a world of compromise
Yes, I would

If I could
I would teach you all the things I've never learned
And I'd help you cross the bridges that I've burned
Yes, I would

If I could
I would try to shield your innocence from time
But the part of life I gave you isn't mine
I've watched you grow, so I could let you go

If I could
I would help you make it through the hungry years
But I know that I could never cry your tears
But I would If I could

Yes, If I live
In a time and place where you don't want to be
You don't have to walk along this road with me
My yesterday won't have to be your way

If I knew
I would try to change the world I brought you to
And there isn't very much that I could do
But I would If I could

Oh baby
Daddy wants to protect you
And help my baby through the hungriest
'Cause your part of me
And if you ever ever need
Said a shoulder to cry on
Or just someone to talk to
I'll be there, I'll be there

I didn't change your world
But I would if I could

Oh darling, I love you baby.

10.Still Crazy After All These Years

Lyrics:Paul Simon
Music:Paul Simon

I met my old lover
On the street last night
She seemed so glad to see me
I just smiled
And we talked about some old times
And we drank ourselves some beers
Still crazy afler all these years
Still crazy after all these years

I'm not the kind of man
Who tends to socialize
I seem to lean on
Old familiar ways
And I aint no fool for love songs
That whisper in my ears
Still crazy after all these years
Still crazy after all these years

Four in the morning
Crapped out
Yawning
Longing my life away
I'll never worry
Why should l?
Its all gonna fade

Now I sit by my window
And I watch the cars
I fear I'll do some damage
One fine day
But I would not be convicted
By a jury of my peers
Still crazy
Still crazy
Still crazy after all these years
