歌曲 | Love And It's Glory |
歌手 | Minnie Riperton |
专辑 | Perfect Angel/Adventures In Paradise |
(m. riperton e. brown r. rudolph) | |
I'll tell you a story about love and its glory | |
Of how when you're true to your heart you'll be free | |
Picture a tropical paradise | |
Folks just like you and me | |
A young girl called maya | |
Was loved by aliya | |
A young man who came from a poor family | |
As they grew older | |
Aliya would hold her | |
Together they dreamed of the day they'd marry | |
It'sa lonely world my children | |
You've got to do the best you can | |
If you've found a chance to love | |
You'd better grab it any way you can | |
Young maya's father | |
Decided his daughter | |
Should marry a man with lots of money | |
She begged and she pleaded | |
Aliya she needed | |
Now maya's crying on her wedding day | |
It's a lonely world my children | |
You've got to do the best you can | |
If you've found a chance to love | |
You'd better grab it any way you can | |
Picture a tropical paradise | |
Folks just like you and me | |
Down come aliya | |
And scooped up the bride from the place | |
Where she stands at the ceremony | |
The minister backed up | |
The father, he cracked up | |
The groom, him fell down to the ground on his knees |
