Bill Withers - Just As I Am/ Still Bill (2005) by Bill Withers (보컬) on maniadb.com

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And she's always gone too long
Anytime she goes away.

Wonder this time where she's gone
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away.

And I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know,
Hey, I oughtta leave young thing alone
But ain't no sunshine when she's gone

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Only darkness every day.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.

Grandma's hands
Clapped in church on Sunday morning
Grandma's hands
Played a tambourine so well
Grandma's hands
Used to issue out a warning
She'd say, "Billy don't you run so fast
Might fall on a piece of glass
Might be snakes there in that grass"
Grandma's hands

Grandma's hands
Soothed a local unwed mother
Grandma's hands
Used to ache sometimes and swell
Grandma's hands
Used to lift her face and tell her,
She'd say "Baby, Grandma understands
That you really love that man
Put yourself in Jesus hands"
Grandma's hands

Grandma's hands
Used to hand me piece of candy
Grandma's hands
Picked me up each time I fell
Grandma's hands
Boy, they really came in handy
She'd say, "Matty don' you whip that boy
What you want to spank him for?
He didn' drop no apple core"
But I don't have Grandma anymore

If I get to heaven I'll look for
Grandma's hands

In a room with soft satin pillows,
Cracklin' fireplace keeps us warm.
Whisprin' wind through weepin' willows,
And sweet Wanomi restin' in my arms.

In a soft light her eyes are gleamin'
Pretty little hand covers up her mouth when she yawns.
Wake me up, I must be dreamin' that
Sweet Wanomi restin' in my arms.

Sleepy kisses, warm me softly
Get much warmer later on.
I reach for the light and turn it off,
Uh, huh, sweet Wanomi restin' in my arms.

Sweet Wanomi restin' in my arms
Sweet Wanomi restin' in my arms
Sweet Wanomi restin' in my arms.

Everybody's talkin' at me
I don't hear a word they're sayin'
Only the echoes of my mind
People stop, starin' at me
I don't even see their faces
Only the shadow of their eyes

Going where the sun keeps a-shinin'
Through the pourin' rain
Goin' where the weather suits my clothes
Bankin' off the northeast wind
Sailin' on a summer breeze
Skippin' over the ocean like a stone

Why, why, why, why?
Why, why, why, why?

I said, everybody keeps talkin' at me
I don't hear a word they're sayin', now
Only the echoes of my mind
People stop, starin' at me
I don't even see their faces
Only the shadow of their eyes

Skippin', skippin', skippin', skip, skip
Over the ocean like a stone

I said, why, why, why?
Why, why?

(Do it good)
(Do it good)
(Do it good)

If you want to kiss a funky beagle,
Hitch a ride upon an eagle
Read a catalog from Spiegel
Go on and do it, do it, do it,
Go on and do it, do it, do it,
Hey do it, do it to it,
But do it good.

Ah, fish was made for hook-in',
And grits was made for cookin'
And eyes were made for lookin',
Go on and do it, do it, do it,
Go on and do it, do it, do it,
But do it good.

Maybe the lateness of the hour
Makes me seem bluer than I am
But in my heart there is a shower,
I hope she'll be happier with him.

Maybe the darkness of the hour
Makes me seem lonelier than I am,
But over the darkness I have no power,
Hope she'll be happier with him.

I can't believe that she don't want to see me,
We lived and loved with each other so long.
I never thought that she really would leave me,
But she's gone.

Maybe the lateness of the hour
Makes me seem bluer than I am,
But in my heart there is a shower,
Hope she'll be happier with him.

When I find myself in time of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking the words of wisdom, let it be
Lord, let it be

And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
Lord, let it be

Yeah, let it be, oh, let it be
Lord, let it be, Lord, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
Lord, let it be

And when the brokenhearted people
Living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be
Lord, let it be

And though they may be parted
There is a-still a chance that they
might see
There will be an answer, let it be
Lord, let it be

Let it be, let it be
Lord, let it be, Lord, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be
Lord, let it be, Lord, let it be
Let it be, let it be

How do you do, Lucy?
You sure been hard to find.
I heard you had a daughter
Six years old and
I just can't keep from cry'n'.

Six years Lucy, Lord have mercy,
That's a long time, that's a long time.
Is she pretty, has she grown?
Does she sleep well in a room of her own?
Can I see her?
Does she know that I'm her daddy, I'm her daddy?
Did you give her one of my pictures?
Does she carry yeh, yeh, picture with her?
Does she show it to the baby sitter, and say,
“See that man, that's my daddy, that's my daddy?”
You should ‘a told me, Lucy, You should ‘a told me, Lucy,
Yeh, you should ‘a told me, Lucy.

Oh, Lucy. Oh, Lucy. Oh, Lucy. Oh, Lucy.
You should ‘a told me Lucy.

When I need some affection you're not there,
I close my eyes and use my recollection,
And in one moment there's my fav'rite scene,
Taken from the place where I keep my dreams,
In my heart, in my heart.

It's a lovely lovely lovely lovely thing to see,
The picture in the birthday wallet that you gave to me.
But a man can lose a photograph, so just in case,
I keep your portrait close to me in a special place,
In my heart, in my heart, in my heart, in my heart,
In my heart. Hey, hey, in my heart, in my heart. Hey

(Hmm) (hum) (hum)
Ah, she keeps me moanin', groanin', hey, because I feel so good,
Feel real good.
Why can't nobody love me like my baby does?

Young girl turned out to be two times quite the woman that I thought she was.
Oh she keeps me moanin', groanin', hey, because I feel is good. I feel real good.
Oh, can't nobody do, no, no, no, what my baby's done.
Said, if she ain't the best in the world, she's good as the goodest one,
And she keeps me moanin', groanin', hey, because
I feel real good.
I feel real good.
Oh, oh, eh, hey, oh, ho, oh, ho,
Oh, ho, oh, ho

She couldn't stand me anymore so she just took the kids and went.
You see, I've got a drinkin' problem, all the money that we had I spent.
Now I must die by my own hand ‘cause I'm not man enough to live alone.
Hey, hey, she's better off without me and I'm better off dead now that she's gone.

Ah, she gave the most, took the least, she even had the priest come to our home.
And I cried and prayed and promised that I'd leave the stuff alone.
Now I must leave what I can't face, I hope she finds the kids a happy home.
Hey, hey she's better off without me and I'm better off dead now that she's gone.

She used to call her friend and cry, then the man cut off the telephone.
She'd sit and cry while I went out and pawned the things we owned.
Now I must die by my own hand ‘cause I'm not man enough to live alone.
Hey, hey she's better off without me and I'm better off dead.

I only want to love you
Please don't push me away
Let me in your life

I wasn't there when he hurt you
So why should I have to pay
Let me in your life

Chorus:
I want to share your tomorrow
So I must beg you today
If he's the cause of your sorrow
Be glad that he's gone away

I need someone let me love you
Please don't push me away
Let me in your life

La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la

Who is He in yonder stall,
At whose feet the shepherds fall?
′Tis the Lord! oh wondrous story!
′Tis the Lord! the King of glory!
At His feet we humbly fall,
Crown Him! crown Him, Lord of all!

Who is He in deep distress,
Fasting in the wilderness? Refrain

Who is He to whom they bring,
All the sick and sorrowing? Refrain

* Lean On Me *

Sometimes, in our lives
때때로, 우리 삶에서
We all have pain, we all have sorrow
우리 모두는 아파할 수도, 슬퍼할 수도 있어요
But if we are wise
하지만 만일 우리가 현명하다면
We know that there's always tomorrow
우린 항상 내일이 온다는 사실을 알 거예요.

Lean on me, when you're not strong
나에게 기대요, 당신이 강하지 못할때
And I'll be your friend,
그리고 나는 당신의 친구가 되어드릴게요
I'll help you carry on
지탱할 수 있도록 도와줄게요
For it won't be long
오래가진 않을거예요
Till I'm gonna need somebody to lean on
내가 기댈 누군가를 필요로하게 되기까진

Please swallow your pride
제발 자존심을 버려요
If I have things you need to borrow
만일 내가 당신이 필요로 하는 것을 가지고 있다면
For no one can fill
아무도 당신이 필요로 하는 것을 채워줄 수 없을때
Those of your needs that you won't let show
당신은 보여주려 하지 않을거예요

You just call on me brother
그냥 날 불러요, 형제여
When you need a hand
도움이 필요할때
We all need somebody to lean on
우리 모두 기댈 누군가가 필요해요
I just might have a problem
내가 문제가 생겼을때
That you'll understand
당신은 이해할 수 있을거예요
We all need somebody to lean on
우리 모두는 기댈 누군가가 필요하다는 걸요

Lean on me, when you're not strong
나에게 기대요, 당신이 강하지 못할때
And I'll be your friend,

I'll help you carry on
지탱할 수 있도록 도와줄게요
For it won't be long
오래가진 않을거예요
Till I'm gonna need somebody to lean on
내가 기댈 누군가를 필요로하게 되기까진

You just call on me brother
그냥 날 불러요, 형제여

당신은 이해할 수 있을거예요
We all need somebody to lean on
우리 모두는 기댈 누군가가 필요하다는 걸요

If there is a load
만일 당신에게 지워진 짐이 있다면
You have to bear, that you can't carry
당신이 감당할 수 없는 것이라면
I'm right up the road
내가 도와줄게요
I'll share your load if you just call me
당신이 날 불러준다면 내가 당신의 짐을 나워 들어줄께요

Call me if you need a friend
친구가 필요하면 날 불러줘요
Call me...
날 불러요

I get a warm, warm summer feeling
Walking through the snow
Even chilly darkness has the brightest glow

And I just love you so
Sometimes I just don't know, know, know
I just don't know
I just don't know
I just don't know

I say that time just seems
To help this wondrous feeling grow
Maybe I might wake up early one morning
And find it isn't so

But I just love you so
Sometimes I just don't know
I just don't know
I just don't know
I just don't know

You got me feeling just like a rich man
Haven't got a dime
Feeling like a young man, but I'm old as father time

And I just love you so
Sometimes I just don't know
I just don't know
I just don't know
I just don't know
I just don't know
I just don't know

If you don't look into your mind and find out what you're running from
Tomorrow might just be another day to run
If you just sit and waste your time
You'll be going where you're coming from (think about that)
Tomorrow might be just another day to run
Someone must control your mind
You're the one
Dark confusion's what you find when you run.
I don't want to waste your time but I'm talking to you like a son
Tomorrow might be just another day to run

Walking down the road of life looking for direction
Sometimes my mind gets so mixed up I can't tell lust from affection
Gonna stop in to a roadside church and get my mind a rest
And Lord Jesus, help me get my soul together in the process

Pretty ladies stand in line waiting for inspection
Ragged old men drinking wine trying to drown rejection
I've been wasting too much time, I'm going to lose my mind unless, Lord Jesus
You help me get my soul together in the process

I see Tony Jr. fill up his arm with dope
And dream about a valley but he lives in an alley
Filled with papers thrown away -- Lord tell me
He's long on dreams and short on hope
And sometimes He goes to rallies and stops by to see Sally just to pass the time away
Lord tell me Tony tell me why do you want to get high enough to die.

I don't want you on my mind all the time
I believe that it shows a sign of weakness
I don't want no lonely nights that gets me cryin'
I found out I don't get nowhere with weakness
Every dream about you
I just wake up knowing that I've got to do without you

I don't want all the time doin' up my mind
I don't want you on my mind all the time

I don't want you on my mind all the time
I believe that it shows a sign of weakness
I don't want no lonely nights that gets me cryin'
I found out I don't get nowhere with weakness
Every dream about you
I just wake up knowing that I got to do without you

I don't want all the time doin' up my mind
I don't want you on my mind all the time

You can fill up a room with idle conversation
You can stir up a whole darn nation with your mouth
But before you start to show your indignation about a situation
You ought to take it all in and check it all out.

You can create a boom with catchy information
You can shake up a lot of people if you shout
But before you begin to grin about the success of your creation
You ought to take it all in and check it all out.

You can make out a plan with aimless dedication
You can hang up a million slogans in you house
But before you put it into operation, before you man your station
You ought to take it all in and check it all out.

You ought to take it all in and check it all out, find out what it's all about
You ought to take it all in and check it all out
