where somebody waits for me

Barbara posted about Joe Cocker's version of "She Came in Through the Bathroom Window" and now I'm in a Joe Cocker mood. I love his versions of "Have a Little Faith in Me" and "With a Little Help from My Friends" but one of my all time favorite songs is his "Bye Bye Blackbird."


Pack up all my cares and woes
feeling low here I go
Bye Bye blackbird

Where somebody waits for me
sugar sweet so is she
Bye Bye Blackbird

No one seems to love or understand me
and all the hard luck stories they keep handing me
where somebody shines the light
I'll be coming on home tonight
Bye Bye Blackbird

Nobody seems to love or understand me
and all the hard luck stories they keep on handing me
where somebody shines the light
I'm coming on home tonight
Bye Bye Blackbird

This is one of those songs I feel deep inside me. One of those love songs that's sad and soulful without being depressing. He puts so much emotion into the song that I can't even read the words without hearing him in my head. One of those songs that made me love my husband before I even met him.
