The Wonderful World Of Sam Cooke

Sam Cooke The Wonderful World Of Sam Cooke Lyrics
1.What A Wonderful World

Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about a science book
Don't know much about the French I took

But I do know that I love you
And I know that if you love me too
What a wonderful world this would be

Don't know much about geography
Don't know much trigonometry
Don't know much about algebra
Don't know what S slide rule is for

But I know that one and one is two
And if this one could be with you
What a wonderful world this would be

Now I don't claim to be an 'A' student
But I'm tryin' to be
For maybe by being an 'A' student, baby
I can win your love for me

Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about a science book
Don't know much about the French I took

But I do know that I love you
And I know that if you love me too
What a wonderful world this would be

History
Biology
Science book
French I took

Yeah, but I do know that I love you
And I know that if you love me too
What a wonderful world this would be


2.Desire Me

Desire me, desire me
as I desire you
desire me and want me
that's all I ever ask of life
that you will someday come to me
and say that you love me
as I love you
hmm

desire me and tell me
that you are mine and mine alone
desire me and love me
and be the queen upon my throne
for I will always worship you
no matter where you go or what you do

there comes a time in the life of every boy
when one and only one girl will do
so now the time has come
and I know that you're the one
and all that I will ever want is you

so desire me desire me
that's all I ever ask of you
desire me and love and tell me that you want me too
for nothing else will matter in the world
as long as I am close to you

there comes a time
in the life of every boy
when one and only one girl will do
so now the time has come
and I know that you're the one
and all that I will ever want is you
so now the time has come
and I know you are the one
and all that I will ever want is you


3.Summertime

(don't cry, don't cry, don't cry no no no no
Don't cry, don't cry)

It's summertime and the living is easy
Fish are jumping and the cotton is high
Your daddy's rich and your mama's good-looking
Hush, little baby don't you cry
don't cry, don't cry, don't cry
no no no no
don't cry, don't cry

One of these mornings you're gonna rise up singing
you spread your wings and take to the sky
But until that morning there is nothing can harm you
With your daddy and mommy standing by
They are stnading by, I know, don't cry

Summertime, summertime, summertime
and the living is, living is easy
Fish are, I know the fish are jumping
and cotton is so high
You'r daddy is so, so rich and your mama good-
she had to be good-looking
so hush, little baby, don't you cry
don't you cry, no no, don't cry
no need to cry, don't cry, don't cry
summertime, summertime....


4.Almost In Your Arms(Love Song From

You're here, that moment's near,
I'm almost in your arms
Tonight, the mood is right,
I'm almost in your arms

One sigh, one word
and I will rush to your embrace
Say that certain word,
sigh that certain sigh
And with all my heart,
to your arms I'll fly
It's strange, how we are changed
by things that seem so small
One look can write a book,
one touch can say it all

We know those nights alone,
and now we found our way
I'm almost in your arms,
nearly in your arms to stay


5.That's Heaven To Me

(doo doo doo's by backup singers)
A little flower that blooms in may
A lovely sunset at the end of a day
Someone helping a stranger along the way
(that's heaven) that's heaven to me

The feeling i have when i hear a touching prayer
It makes me know the lord is somewhere
Even the birds flying around in the air
(that's heaven) that's heaven to me

It doesn't have to be a miracle
In order for me to see, i know
The goodness of my, my savior
Is everywhere to me, wo wo wo

Even the children playing in the street
Sing a friendly hymnal to everyone that they meet
Even the leaves blowing out, blowing out, blowing out, blowing
out on the
Tree
(that's heaven) that's heaven to me
(wo wo's by sam, doo doo's by backup)


6.No One(Can Ever Take Your Place)

Oh how I love you
every moment I can see your face
Oh how I love you
no one, no one could ever
never will take your place

oh how I love you
every moment I know I see your face
oh how I love you
no one could ever take your place

every morning when I rise
I can almost see you standing before my eyes
and every night when I go to sleep
my prayer is our love will keep
I long to see your smiling face
I long to feel your warm embrace
how could anyone ever take your place

oh how I love you
every moment I know I see your
oh how I love you
no one could ever take your place
oh how I love you


7.With You

with you
allthough I'm poor
I feel like a king
with you
though I have nothing
I feel I have everything

but without you my dreams soon fade away
I'd be here crying day after day
promise me you'll never leave me

when I'm with you
life means everything to me
with you
just like a child I'm happy as I can be
without you I'm lost like a child all alone
crying for its mother and wishing she was home
I know you'll never leave me

you are my love
for your wonderful love I live
you are my life
for your wonderful love my life I gladly give

when I'm with you
do I feel the way that I do
with you
I found a love that's always true
but without you I'm lost trying to find my way
I'd be here crying day after day
promise me you'll never leave me


8.Blue Moon

Blue moon,
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
without a love of my own
You heard me sing a prayer
for someone I really care for

then suddenly there appeared before me
the only one my arms could ever hold
Then I heard somebody whisper
'please adore me'
and when I looked
the moon had turned to gold

Blue moon, now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
without a love of my own


9.Stealing Kisses

Stealing kisses, precious kisses
You should be ashamed, I trust in you
Stealing kisses, someone's kisses
Starting a romance that wasn't meant for you
I begged and begged you to be careful
But you were always acting smart
You kept on
Stealing kisses, precious kisses
And suddenly you stole my heart
(Stealing kisses, precious kisses)
You should be ashamed I trusted you
(Stealing kisses, someone's kisses)
Starting a romance that wasn't meant for you
(I begged and begged you to be careful)
But you were always acting so smart
Stealing kisses, precious kisses
You should be ashamed, I trust in you
Stealing kisses, someone's kisses
Starting a romance that wasn't meant for you
But now I wish we never, never, never part
Stealing kisses, someone's kisses
And suddenly you stole my heart


10.You Were Made For Me

A fish was made to swim in the ocean
A boat was made to sail on the sea
As sure as there is a God above
Darling, I know you were made for me

You were made for me
A grape was made for a vine
An apple was made to grow on a tree
As sure as there is a God above
Darling, I know you were made for me

We'll have our quarrels and you'll upset me
But what can I do
Oh you've been mine ever since I met you
And I'll never, never, never, never, never leave you

As sure as there's a heaven above me
From you I know I'll never be free
As sure as there is a God above
Darling, I know you were made for me


11.There I've Said It Again

(Love you, love you, ooh)

I love you, there's nothing to hide
It's better than burning inside
I love you, no use to pretend
There, I've said it again

I've said it, what more can I say
Believe me, there's no other way
I love you, I will to the end
There, I've said it again

I've tried to drum up
A phrase that would sum up
All that I feel
That I feel for you

But what good are phrases
The thought that amazes
Is you love me and
It's so heavenly

Forgive me for wanting you so
There's one thing
I want you to know

And that's I've loved you
Since, oh, heaven knows when
There, I've said it again, oh
There, there, I've said it again

(Love you, love you)


12.I Thank God

This wonderful world we live in
is God's masterpiece of art
and I live each golden moment
with his love in my heart

I thank God
for blessing me
with eyes to see
each wondrous day
and I thank God
for hands to help
my fellow man along the way

he gave me lips to speak the simple truth
and ears to hear to magic dreams of youth
I thank God for giving me
his blessed book with words devine
for now I know dear God I know
the miracle of life is mine

yes Dear God I know
the miracle of life is mine


13.Steal Away

steal away, steal away, steal away
steal away my heart
steal away, steal away
I ain't got long to stay (O, I ain't got long to stay)
Hm, steal away, steal away, steal away
Steal away my heart
steal away, steal away
I ain't got long to stay

My Lord he calls me, he calls me by the thunder
The trumpet sounds within my soul
I ain't got long to stay
Steal , steal away, steal away
steal away my heart
steal away, steal away
I ain't got long to stay (O, I ain't got long to stay)

Green trees bending
Poor man, he stands trembling
The trumpet sounds within my soul
I ain't got long to stay
Steal , steal away, steal away
steal away my heart
steal away, steal away
I ain't got long to stay (O, I ain't got long to stay)


14.Deep River

Deep river, my home is over Jordan,
Deep river, Lord, I want to cross over into campground.
Oh, don't you want to go to that gospel feast,
That promised land where all is peace?
Oh don't you want to go to that promised land,
That land where all is peace?
Deep river, my home is over Jordan,
Deep river, Lord, I want to cross over into campground
