medley

Σε ένα από τα καλύτερα ζωντανά άλμπουμ όλων των εποχών [Live at the Harlem Square Club], ο Sam Cooke τραγουδά δύο τραγούδια σε ένα [It’s All Right/For Sentimental Reasons] και το αποτέλεσμα είναι απερίγραπτο. Οι στίχοι -κατά προσέγγιση!- είναι όπως παρακάτω...

“When somebody come and tell you something about what your girlfriend has done, or what your wife has done, I want you to remember one thing: don’t go home hittin’ on her and all that stuff…when she’s sleeping, shake her and wake her up and wait ‘til she wipes all the sleep from her eyes…look her dead in the eye and tell her ’Baby...”

It΄s allright, it΄ allright, honey it΄s allright
long as I know,
long as I know that you love me
honey, it΄s allright

Oh my friends tell me that you found somebody new
they report to me
every little thing that you do
but as long as you tell me that it΄s all untrue
baby, it΄s allright

One more thing I want you to know
if you ever worry,
if you΄re all alone
Remember darling that
I΄m as near as your telephone
And if you need me honey
all you have to do is call me
honey, believe me, it΄s allright

It΄s allright, it΄ allright, honey it΄s allright
long as I know,
long as I know that you love me
honey, it΄s allright

“You know why it’s all right honey?”
"It's all right because..."

I love you for sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me
I'll give you my heart

I love you
And you alone were meant for me
Please give your loving heart to me
And say we'll never part

“Everybody come along and sing with me this middle part!”

I think of you every morning
Dream of you every night
Darling I'm never lonely
Whenever you're in sight

I love you for sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me
I've given you my heart

I think of you every morning
Dream of you every night
Darling I'm never lonely
Whenever you're in sight

I love you for sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me
I've given you my heart
