Compassion
Nina Simone · The Very Best Of Nina Simone, 1967-1972 : Sugar In My Bowl [1998]
Because I had loved so deeply
Because I had loved so long
God in His great compassion
Gave me the gift of song
Because I have loved so vainly
And sung with such faltering breath
Oh oh oh, the Master in
His infinite mercy
Offers the boon of death
Because I had loved so long
God in His great compassion
Gave me the gift of song
Because I have loved so vainly
And sung with such faltering breath
Oh oh oh, the Master in
His infinite mercy
Offers the boon of death
