Píseň: Spend a Little Time

Interpret:
Joan Armatrading
Album:
Whatever's for Us
I've been waking up every morning
Not one ray of sunshine through my pane
I've been sleeping wrapped
warm in sadness, yeah
Not a smile upon my face
Until one day
Glad day
That you came along
I've been singing this song
Trying to chase the frown away


Hear me singing now, sadness
I can't be with you


I don't need your hand no more
Laughter, I'd like to be with you
Why don't you come knocking, knocking
Knocking at my door


Oh I'd like to spend a little time, baby
By your fire
I'd like to spend a little time, baby
By your door
And if he calls me, smile on baby
I'll come running, oh yeah yeah
Just to spend a little time, baby
By your door
