This Bitter Earth Songtext
von Dinah Washington & Brook Benton

This bitter earth
Well, what a fruit it bears
What good is love
Mmm, that no one shares And if my life is like the dust
Ooh, that hides the glow of a rose
But what good am I?
Heaven only knows


Lord, this bitter earth
Yes, can be so cold
Today you′re young
Too soon, you're old
But while a voice within me cries
I′m sure someone may answer my call
And this bitter earth
Ooh, may not, oh, be so bitter after all
