I Can Make It Through The Days (But Oh Those Lonely Nights) - Ray Charles

Girl, I’m so lonesome tonight

I was just lying here wondering where you are

And what you’re doing

And Lord knows the thing that worries me the most

Is who yer don' it with

That’s why, if you don’t mind

I’d like to sing these words to you, see

I’ve got new books to read

But they aren’t what I need

And this picture of you

Just won’t do, no, no, baby

And the postcards you send would never (never) mend

The pain in my heart when we’re apart

Girl I can make it through the day

But oh, please help me through the lonely nights

When I’m on my job It’s not too hard

But when I go home

And I’m all alone (and I’m by myself babe you heard me)

You know you’re my crutch I need you’re sweet touch

Then it gets the night time again Lord when will it end

I’ll make it through the day say, but oh

You don’t know nothing about the lonely nights

Well now night go away please hurry up day

Cause my night light burns and I toss and turn

Tell me what would I see if I turned on TV

I don’t know what to do, Lord knows, I need me some you

I can make it through the day

Please help me through the lonely night
