Lyrics Aretha Franklin

Aretha Franklin

This Bitter Earth

This bitter earth

What fluted passed

What good is love

That no one wants to share

And if my life is like the dust

That haunts the rose

Tell me what good am I

Heaven only knows

Well I found it can be so cold

Today oh

And before you know it

Too soon you've grown old

But while a voice within me cries

Someone may answer my call

And this bitter earth

May not be so bitter after all
