I’ve been ‘A Fool For You’
Since I was a child
And I ‘Ain’t Misbehavin’
When I say
‘I can’t Stop Lovin’ You’.
You brought ‘A Bit Of Soul’
Into our lives
With your ‘Blue Genius’
‘Don’t You Know’ that
‘Early in the Morning’
I’m ‘Feelin Sad’ and
‘I drown In My Own Tears’
Since you left us.
We’ve fallen on ‘Hard Times’
Now that ‘There’s No You’
And while you will
‘Say No More’
Your song reaches out to us
From ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow’.
The ‘Fever’ still comes
‘At the Midnight Hour’
On the wind of those
‘Sweet Sixteen Bars’
With ‘Georgia On My Mind’
Here in ‘America the Beautiful’
All that’s left to say
Is ‘Let’s Get Back to Where We Left Off’
The ‘Music, Music, Music’
Is what got us through
The ‘Hard Times’
You touched our lives, Brother Ray,
With your ‘Genius After Hours’
And the world won’t be the same
Without you.
