Lyrics Percy Sledge

Percy Sledge

Blue Water

Now a man ain't suppose to cry

But with all this pain inside

All my eyes can see is blue water

No the world ain't suppose to be

Just a drowning sea

There's more for you and me than blue water

Yeah, let's make our morning bright

And I know we're bound to see tomorrow clearly in our sight

Girl, take my hand, tell me you understand

'Cause we don't need to stand in blue water

Now life is a one time trip

And we've got to build our ship

So we won't ever slip into blue water

All you got to do is let yourself go

Just let it over flow

'Cause that river in your soul is just blue water

Yeah, let's make our morning fun

And I know we're bound to see tomorrow clearly in our sight

Girl, take my hand, tell me you understand

'Cause we don't need to stand in blue water

Go dry your tears and try to realize

There's more to what you see

If you open up your eyes

Yeah, it's gonna be alright

I know you're gonna see tomorrow clearly in our sight

Girl, take my hand, tell me that you understand

'Cause we don't need to stand in blue water

We don't need to stand in blue water

Girl, oh, tell me that you understand

We don't need to stand in blue water

Yeah, oh, tell me that you understand

We don't need to stand in blue water

Take my hand, oh, tell me that you understand

'Cause we don't need to stand in blue water
