Lyrics
10) Because Of You
m.litton
And it’s the same, same ol’ thing each day
Seems like nuthin’, Lord, nuthin’ ever goes my way
I throw the dice, hit the races, lose all my wages
Even knell down on my knees and I pray
Still the same, same ol’ thing each day…
You know I dream, but my dreams never come alive
They fade each morning before my eyes
I go to work shovel in hand, answer to the man
You know I laugh but deep down I cry
To see my dreams, all my dreams slowly die…
Each night I come home so tired ‘n blue
I stand like a shadow in this shadowed room
I gaze up at the ceiling where the old paint is peeling
Then your smile, sweet smile comes shinin’ through
Each night I come alive again,
Each night I’m alright again,
Each night I fall in love again because of you…
Because of you…ah, sweet girl because of you…
Because of you…yeah, yeah, because of you…
Each night I come alive again,
Each night I’m alright again,
Each night I fall in love again because of you…
