Artist: Nikka Costa Album: can'tneverdidnothin' (2005) Title: Fatherless Child
Lyrics Fatherless ChildHeaven spoke too loud
Left me a fatherless child
Occurs to me every day
But your memory makes me proud
You're the one I hold
You're the first man I loved
And all that follow
Have a mountain to rise above
And there's a hole inside of me
Where I put flowers so I can breathe
And though the winters have come and gone
You're still my heart, you're still my sun
Somehow I always knew
What I lost was never gone
'Cause there's a part of you
Inside me that carries on
And there's a hole inside of me
Where I put flowers so I can breathe
And though the winters have come and gone
You're still my heart, you're still my sun
Heaven spoke too loud
Left me a fatherless child
And there are times you know
I really wish you were around
And I'll try to make you proud
'Cause you're the break in every cloud
And I'm convinced that's why the sun shines
On me
[break]
I want a little sugar in my bowl
I want some sweetness down my soul
I could use some lovin' oh so bad
I feel so funny, I feel so sad
I want some steam on my clothes
Maybe I can fix this up so they're gold
What's the matter daddy
Come on, save my soul
I want some sugar in my bowl
I ain't foolin'
I want some sugar in my bowl
You been actin' different I been told
Soothe me daddy, put some sugar in my bowl
I want some steam on my clothes
Maybe I can fix this up so they're gold
What's the matter daddy
Come on, save my soul
I want some sugar in my bowl
I ain't foolin'
I want some sugar in my bowl |
