(R.J. Johnson/Guiney/Reedy)
At peace, with your pain
seems like you hurt forever
Didn't want you to go away
Will it always feel the same way
Not a word, at my turn to speak
could help anyone
Nothing I could say will bring you back again
this too shall pass away
Bring it back again...
And I wouldn't waste the day
Bring it back again... this too shall Pass away
Bring you back again... And I wouldn't waste the day
Is it supposed to feel this way
When you lose somebody
I will never love... Anyone again
Richard Pryor Addresses A Tearful Nation
Sometimes I think I've almost fooled myself
Sometimes I think I've almost fooled myself--
Spreading out my wings
Above us like a tree,
Laughing now, out loud
Almost like I was free
I look at you as the thing I wanted most
You look at me and it's like you've seen a ghostâ€â€Â
I wear the face
Of all this has cost:
Everything you tried to keep away from me,
Everything I took from you and lost
Lights shine above me, they're like your eyes above the street
Lights shine below me, they're like stars beneath my feetâ€â€Â
I stood on your shoulders
And I walked on my hands,
You watched me while I tried to fall
You can't bear to watch me land
Take me away, carry me like a dove
Take me away, carry me like a doveâ€â€Â
Love me like you're lying
Let me feel you near,
Remember me for trying
And excuse me while I disappear
