This Bitter Earth

This Bitter Earth - Lou Rawls

This bitter earth

Well what fruit it bears

What good is love

That no one shares

And if my life is like the dust

That hides the glow of a rose

What good am I

I said heaven only knows

This bitter earth

Yes can be so cold

Today you're young

Too soon too soon you get old

But while a voice within me cries

I'm sure someone may answer my call

And this bitter earth

May not be may not be so bitter after all

And if my life is like the dust

That hides the glow of a rose

What good am I

Heaven only knows

This bitter earth

Yes can be so cold

Today you're young

Too soon too soon you get old

But while a voice within me cries

I'm sure someone may answer my call

And this bitter earth

May not be may not be so bitter after all

I said this bitter earth

May not be may not be so bitter after all
