This Bitter Earth

This Bitter Earth - Dinah Washington

This bitter earth

Well what fruit it bears

What good is love

Mmmm that no one shares

And if my life is like the dust

Oooh that hides the glow of a rose

What good am I

Heaven only knows

Lord this bitter earth

Yes can be so cold

Today you're young

Too soon you're old

But while a voice within me cries

I'm sure someone may answer my call

And this bitter earth

Ooooo may not

Oh be so bitter after all
