Sam Cooke: You Send Me

Time is short but feelings are strong
Of course you’re singing our song
First cranberry kiss sets me on fire
Making my knees weak as I perspire 

Oh you send me on a long journey 
With the sun blazing the world turning
Despite the times lack of civil rights
Everything is fine in your arms tonight

Your pearly smile plays me like a harp
Words you weave now are amethyst art
You whisper in my ear that I have your heart
Marry me dear and we shall never part

You send me to the moon and far beyond 
Like a flower I bloom in your sunny charm
And the red hickey you leave on my neck
Is like jewelry I hide least my folks be upset

You thrill me honest you do
Just like the song says it’s true
And I loved you from the very first look
Heavenly sounds of us sang by Sam Cooke
