Ray Charles - I Can't stop Loving You/Hank Williams - Your Cheatin Heart

OLD PA'S WEDNESDAY CLUB

CHEATIN' BITCH

YOU MAKE ME FEEL BLUE

 
RAY CHARLES - I Can't Stop Loving You
I love  Ray Charles's I Can't stop Loving You but I have never really understood the sentiments. Ray wants to love this girl/boy for ever and unconditionally. It does not make sense to me. This girl/boy may have run of with his best friend or even worse but that seems not to make any difference to Ray. Saying that I don't really know the full story. That person may have died or something.

I can identify with Hank Williams a lot easier. This girl is a cheat and she has let him down. You know exactly where you are....the cheatin' bitch.

Here is a little love thang for you...you can never trust love, can you?

MY WATCH

You reach out and take my hand
I turn and look at you and smile
When you tell me that you love me
I tell you back
I love you too

You make me feel I belong with you
This is how love should be

I leave our home to go to work
You always kiss me on the cheek
When I tell you that I love you
You gently sigh
I love you too

You make me feel I belong with you
This is how love should be

I come home again to you at night
The first thing we do is kiss
When I tell you that I love you
Your eyes tell me
You love me too

You make me feel I belong with you
This is how love should be

I reach out to you in the night
You turn and hold me in your arms
When I tell you that I love you
Your whisper back
I love you too

You make me feel I belong with you
This is how love should be

I book a table just for two
But you frown and turn away
When I tell you that I love you
Your loveless eyes
Are dark and cold

You make me feel I should not be here
Is this how love should be?

I reach out to you in the night
You turn away with a lame excuse
When I tell you that I love you
Your silent reply
Screams the truth

You make me feel I should not be here
Is this how love should be?
