Dearest Darling Songtext
von Al Kooper

Now some of you out there
You might have someone very special that you love
And you′re gonna understand what I'm talkin′ about
When I sing this song now
You're gonna understand what I mean when I say
Dearest
Yeah, when I'm talkin′ ′bout darlin'
That′s right, you got to be dearest
I want you to be my darlin'

Come on, baby, won′t you take my hand, honey, yeah
Here we go, baby
Uh, yeah

You know I once had a heart, baby, so pure and true
But now it's gone from me to you
Take care of it, baby, as I have done
For you have two hearts and I have none, yeah


Dearest
Yeah, what you say, baby, talkin′ 'bout darlin'
Ah, you sound so sweet, girl
Dearest
Yeah, I wonder can you be, I wonder can you be my darlin′
Come on, baby, come on, take my hand now, yeah
It′s alright, it feel alright, it feel like, uh, yeah

Now if I go to heaven and you're not there
I′m gonna write your name, baby, on the golden stair
If you're not there by Christmas Day
Well, I′m bound to know, honey, it went the other way, uh
Yeah

It's alright now, come on, be my darlin′
Yeah, baby, it feel like you got to say yeah
Yeah, baby, come on and be my darlin'
Now let's go, yeah, let′s walk a while now, uh, yeah

Now baby, I got to play for you now
Yeah
It′s alright
Yeah
Baby, I want you to be my darlin'
Come on, baby, you know you got what I need and I want now, baby


Dearest
Come on and be, I want you to be, I want you to be darlin′
My dearest darlin', come on and be now
Dearest
It′s just you and me, baby, forever, darlin'
Walk a while, take my hand, everything I need, baby
Dearest
Yeah, and it feel, and it feel like darlin′

Come on, baby, I'll play for you one more time now
