Come Rain or Come Shine Songtext
von Count Basie and His Orchestra

Hmmm
Honey I thought you should know that I′m in a hurry
I've got to move up north, but it′s just temporary
I really tried not to lie, but this burdens getting heavy
No, you can't come with me this time, you got your own destiny
Pre C.
When I look at you I see your beauty
Now my baby boy he's gonna lose me


But heavens not too far away, I know someday you′ll visit
And I didn′t think I'd go this way, can I please have one more minute
No honey I don′t want to go, please know that I have to
Look how the cancer has grown, I think it's time I go home
I can still hear your voice, sounds just like it did
And I can still feel your hand, when it touches my skin


But heavens not too far away, I know someday you′ll visit
And I didn't think I′d go this way, can I please have one more minute
I gave you life now you gotta watch it leave my eyes
But heavens not too far away, I know someday you'll visit
As death rattles my cage, I can hear their voices fading
Each breath getting harder,
I can hear the tears coming from my daughter
And to her older brother, he's thinking back when he was younger
When he had a healthy mother,
who asked him to take care of his little brother
And he′s not really sure about life,
or that how could any of this be right
But I know my babies they will be
fine, cause they can talk to me anytime
