Marie Knight : June 1, 1925 - August 30, 2009

Marie Knight

Up above my head (up above my head)

I hear music in the air (I hear music in the air)

Up above my head (up above my head)

I hear music in the air (I hear music in the air)

Up above my head (up above my head)

I hear music in the air (I hear music in the air)

I really do believe, I really do believe there's a Heaven somewhere.

Sister Rosetta Tharpe and Marie Knight - Up above My Head, I Hear Music

Chris Connor

From this happy day, no more blue songs

Only whoop dee doo songs

From this moment on

For you've got the love I need so much

Got the skin I love to touch

Got the arms to hold me tight

Got the sweet lips to kiss me goodnight

From this moment on

I'll make you happy, baby, just wait and see

For every kiss you give me, I'll give you three

Oh, since the day I saw you, I have been waiting for you

You know I will adore you 'til eternity

You hold her hand and she holds yours

And that's a very good sign

That she's your tootsey-wootsey

In the good, old summertime

It’s closing time in this nowhere café

There’s no way in the world I’m gonna let that girl

Let her slip away

Just to Walk That Little Girl Home
