Al Jarreau - Alonzo lyrics

rate me

And when I think of Alonzo, he was king around the bay

And he'd come sporting and flashing, hearts would drift away

It could be he had a dream, came upon the scene

Where the lamb and lion play, he watched them play

How could he start to school her, to rule her with feet of sand and clay?

Alonzo declared that he must reach to heaven for heaven

Alonzo declared that he must reach to heaven for heaven

Alonzo declared that he must reach to heaven for heaven

Alonzo declared that he must reach to heaven for heaven

[Inaudible]

It could be he had a dream, came upon the scene

Where the lamb and lion play, he watched them play

How could he start to school her, to rule her with feet of sand and clay?

Alonzo declared that he must reach to heaven for heaven

Alonzo declared that he must reach to heaven for heaven

Alonzo declared that he must reach to heaven for heaven

Alonzo declared that he must reach to heaven for heaven

Don't you know Alonzo put out his hand one day?

Don't you know Alonzo lifted up his head to pray?

So good for you, my dear Alonzo

So good for you, my dear Alonzo

So good for you, my dear Alonzo

So good for you, my dear Alonzo

Warm your heart so warm the sun

Warm your soul and by the way

Welcome, Alonzo, welcome, Alonzo

Welcome, Alonzo, welcome, Alonzo

So good to see you, you're welcome, you're welcome

[Inaudible]
