Papa Gene's Blues
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
No heartaches felt, no longer lonely
Nights of waiting finally won me happiness
It's all rolled up in you
And now with you as inspiration
I look toward a destination
Sunny, bright, that once before was blue
I have no more than I did before
But now I've got all that I need
For I love you and I know you love me
So take my hand, I'll start my journey
Free from all the helpless worry
That besets a man when he's alone
For strength is mine when we're together
And with you, I know I'll never
Have to pass the high road for the low
I have no more than I did before
But now I've got all that I need
For I love you and I know you love me
I have no more than I did before
But now I've got all that I need
For I love you, and I know you love me
