Mercy Me Lyrics 


Blow Wind Blow

Songwriter: Mckinley Morganfield / Muddy Waters

Vocals: Diane Blue

 

Well, when the sun rose this mornin'
I didn't have a baby by my side.
When the sun rose this mornin'
Didn't have a baby by my side.

Well I don't know where he was
He might have been out with some other guy.

 

Well, don't the sun look lonesome?
Shadin' down behind the trees.
Well, don't the sun look so lonesome?
Shadin' down behind the trees.

Well, don't your house look lonesome?
When your baby packed up to leave.

 

Instrumentals

 

Well, blow wind, blow wind,
Blow my baby back to me.
Oh, blow wind, blow wind
Blow my baby back to me.

Well, if I don't soon find him,
I'm gonna be in misery.

Only You Know and I Know

Dave Mason

Vocals: Diane Blue, Paul Kochanski

 

Only you know and I know,
All the love we've got to show.
So don't refuse to believe it,
By reading too many meanings.

'Cause you know that I mean what I say,
So don't go, and never take me the wrong way.
You know you can't go on gettin' your own way,
'Cause if you do, it's gonna get you someday.


If I seem to mislead you,
It's just my craziness comin' through.
But when it comes down to just two,
Ah, I ain't no crazier than you.

'Cause you know that I mean what I say,
So don't go, and take me the wrong way.
You know you can't go on gettin' your own way,
'Cause if you do, it's gonna get you someday.

 

 Instrumentals

I appear to be pleasing,
Oh, no, no, not deceiving.
But it's hard to believe in,
When you've been so mistreated

'Cause you know that I mean what I say,
So don't go, and take me the wrong way.
You know you can't go on gettin' your own way,
'Cause if you do, it's gonna get you someday.

Only you know and I know,
Only you know and I know,
Only you know and I know, oh yeah,
Only you know and I know, oh yeah.

 

Please Send Me Someone to Love

Percy Mayfield  1950

Diane Blues, vocals. 

 

Heaven, please send to all mankind,
Understanding and peace of mind.
But if it's not asking too much,
Please send me someone to love.

 

Show the world how to get along,
Peace will enter when hate has gone.
And if it's not asking too much,
Please send me somebody to love.

 

I lay awake pondering life struggles,
My answer is always the same.
Unless men put an end to this struggle and sin,
The world is going to go up in a flame -  what a shame.

 

Just because I'm in misery,
I'm won't beg for nobody's sympathy.
But if it's not asking too much,
Lord, please send me someone to love.

Unless men put an end to this trouble and sin,
The world is going to end up in a flame - what a shame.

 

Just because I'm in misery,
I won't beg for and don't want nobody's sympathy
But if it's not asking too much,
Lord, please send me someone to love.

Won't you please, please, please send me somebody to love. 

 

The Sun Shines Brightly

Ronnie Earl & Diane Blue, composers

 

Instrumental Intro

 

Well, the sun is shining brightly,

Shining brightly on my front door.

I see the sun is shining brightly,

Shining brightly on my front door.

I am so glad the sky ain't crying,

Oh no it ain't crying anymore.

 

You know the sky ain't crying,

Sky ain't crying no more.

Oh the sky ain't crying,

The sky ain't crying no more.

I want to shout out my praises,

Shout praises to my Lord.

(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher

Carl Smith, Gary Jackson

Vocals: Diane Blue,

Backup vocals: Tess Ferraiolo 

 

Your love is lifting me higher,
Than I've ever been lifted before.
So keep it up, which is my desire,
And I’ll be at your side, forevermore.

 

You know your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keeps on lifting me (loves keeps lifting me)
Lifting me higher and higher (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher)
I said your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keeps on (love keeps lifting me)
Lifting me (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher).


When I was, I was down hearted,
And disappointment was my closest friend.
But then you, you came in and it soon departed,
And you know he never, showed his face again.

That’s why your love, (your love keeps lifting me)

Keeps on lifting me, (Keeps on lifting me)

Lifting me higher and higher
Higher and higher (higher)
I said your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keeps on (love keeps lifting me)


Lifting me (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher

Instrumentals

I'm so glad, I finally found you.
Yes, that one in a million boy.
And now with my loving arms around you
Honey, I can stand up
And face the world again.

 

You know your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keeps on lifting (loves keeps lifting me)
Lifting me higher and higher (higher)
Higher and higher (higher)
I said your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keeps on (love keeps lifting me)
Lifting me (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher).


Repeat, repeat, repeat..
