A Lot of Soul - Donny Hathaway

I never was great, I guess just average

Lord I never had the touch that brought me gold

Out of step with life but I still manage

To sing my song of life with a lot of soul

I’d go hmm hmm with feeling

I’d say hmm with soul

I’d do hmm hmm with meaning

yes I sang my songs of life with a lot of soul

I never was great at words so fancy

but Lord you know I loved that woman so

There were those who’d give her more, more and better

But didn’t I love that woman with a lot of soul

I’d go hmm with feeling

I’d say hmm with soul

I’d do hmm with meaning

but didn’t I love that woman with a lot of soul

When I leave this life I will be forgotten

cause I never made big tracks upon it’s roads

The things I’ve done will never last forever

but didn’t I do them all with a lot of soul

I’d go hmm with feeling

I’d go hmm with soul

I’d say hmm with meaning

and God will say there’s a man with a lot of soul

I’d go hmm with feeling

I’d do hmm with soul

I’d do hmm with meaning

and God will say there’s a man with a lot of soul

I’d go hmm with feeling

I’d say hmm with soul

I’d do hmm with meaning

and God will say there’s a man with a lot of soul
