John Popper & The Duskray Troubadours - Something Sweet lyrics

rate me

Play me something sweet, something with a beat that takes my cares away

Something real and true, something bright or blue and get me through this dark and stormy day

Cover me in sunlight with every note you play

Play me something sweet, something with a beat and I will be ok

Make it something slow, something we all know but never heard before

Make us feel alright whether day or night, when nothing seems to mean much anymore

Older than the ocean but younger than the shore

Make it something real, real and right and let my spirit soar

I never worked so hard just to make ends meet

And 2nd Avenue seems like a dead-end street

I don't know anyone who ain't struggling nowadays

Too many good folks hurting bad in way too many ways

Play me something sweet, something strong that will not break or bend

Something that could carry me along on days when friends can't even help a friend

Let the song inside you rise and grow and then play me something sweet

And your sweet song will help me smile again
