A Part Of Me/there Are Such Things

Abbey Lincoln · Other Songs - Abbey Lincoln

A natural fool, another race, holding court right in my face

With a spacey, toothy grin, sayin' ain't nobody in

Just a pure and natural waste, have you seen her anyplace?

This is only for your ear

I'm supposed to keep her here

Unlucky little hapless bright

She'd be lost out in the night

Don't even know enough to fear

And suddenly she'll just appear

Like a catch, a snag, a hitch

Leave you standing in a ditch

I keep saying to myself it's over, that's the end

But it's so long , she's like a friend

Like an old familiar itch , and as a fool, she's really rich

Although I'm unaware now and then, I know she's there

Living, gazing through my eyes

The fool in me I realize

The part of me that helps me be

The part of me that's really me



A heart that's true, there are such things

A dream for two, there are such things

Someone to whisper Darling you're my guiding star

Not caring what you own but just what you are



A peaceful sky, there are such things

A rainbow high where heaven sings

So have a little faith and trust in what tomorrow brings

You'll reach a star because there are such things



So have a little faith and trust in what tomorrow brings

You'll reach a star because there are such things
