BURT BACHARACH - God Give Me Strength lyrics

rate me

Now I have nothing, so God give me strength

'Cause I'm weak in her wake

And if I'm strong I might still brea

And I don't have anything to share

That I won't throw away into the air

That song is sung out

This bell is rung out

She was the light that I'd bless

She took my last chance at happiness

So God give me strength, God give me strength

I can't hold onto her, God give me strength

When the phone doesn't ring

And I'm lost in imagining

Everything that kind of love is worth

As I tumble back down to the earth

That song is sung out

This bell is rung out

She was the light that I'd bless

She took my last chance at happiness

So God give me strength

(Bridge)

God if she'd grant me her indulgence and decline

I might as well, wipe her from my memory

Fracture the spell, as she becomes my enemy

Maybe I was washed out like a lip-print on my shirt

See, I'm only human, I want her to hurt

I want her

I want her to hurt

[instrumental]

Since I lost the power to pretend

That there could ever be a happy ending

That song is sung out

This bell is rung out

She was the light that I'd bless

She took my last chance at happiness

So God give me strength, God give me strength
