I Can Make It Thru' the Days Songtext
von Ray Charles

Girl, I′m so lonesome tonight
I was just lying here wondering where you are
And what you're doing
And Lord knows the thing that worries me most is
Who you′re doing it with
That's why, if you don't mind
I′d like to sing these words to you, you see

I′ve got new books to read
But they ain't what I need
And this picture of you
Just won′t do, no, no, baby

And the postcards you send
Would never, never mend
The pain in my heart
When we're apart

Girl, I can make it thru the day
Say but oh, please help me thru the lonely nights
Well, and honey, I think you ought to know this too


When I′m on my job
It's not too hard
But when I go home
And I′m all alone
And I'm by myself, baby, you heard me

You know you're my crutch
I need your sweet touch
Then it gets under the night time again
Lord, when will it end?

I make it thru the day, girl
Say, but oh, you just don′t know nothing about the lonely nights
Somebody help me out there
And girl, I′ve got to say this to you
Sometimes I even talk to myself, I say

Well now night, go away
Please hurry up, day
Cause my night light burns
And I toss and turn
You see, I just can't sleep at night no more, girl

And tell me
What would I see if I turned on TV?
I don′t know what to do
Lord knows I need me some you


I make it thru the day, girl, yes I do
Please help me thru the lonely nights
