Bonnie Raitt - God Only Knows Lyrics
Darkness settles on the ground
Leaves the day stumbling blind
Coming to a quiet close
And maybe just in time
We've almost lost the heart to know
We've almost lost the heart to know
How to keep our best in mind
Time has turned an angry face
Throws a dark eye back to sea
But what will pass for mercy now
We'll practice unforgivingly
As if might and will make right
Or either one could make us free
As if might and will make right
Lovers laugh and cross this way
They're weaving out into the street
It seems we never were so young
Or it was never quite so sweet
But the world is always beautiful
When it's seen in full retreat
The worst of life looks beautiful
As it slips away in full retreat
God only knows that we can we do
No more or less than he'll allow
Well, God only knows that we mean well
God knows that we just don't know how
But I try to be your light in love
And pray that is enough for now
Well I try to be your light in love
And I'll pray that is enough for now

Bonnie, you have been a shining light for so many years - God Only Knows is just beautiful - thank you, Joe Henry - Bonnie, I wish you only love, happiness and peace oxoxoxox
Second best female blues singer number one being Janis Joplin and third best slide guitarist number one being Rory Gallagher
what about ry and lowell
Bonnie is a national treasure, for sure. As great a performer as she is, always look one layer deeper, to the song writer. There would be nothing to interpret if it had not been written. Joe Henry wrote this one. A great duo!
i wish i had piano music...
Damn! I just saw her 2 rows from the stage do this about 5 months ago; she took my breath away. I've seen her 6 times now over the years, each time a little closer...she was just here again on my birthday 10/20. Damn, if I was a man or gay - I'd go after that woman - LOL! Bonnie Raitt is nothing short of "Magick..."
I'd run away with her if she'd only ask. I adore her.
Well, not exactly Cohen anyway, but you get the idea.
Thanks, Catman916. If that isn't by Cohen, then it's close. Bonnie has an ear for poetic lyric. There's another verse to a song she does that just nails it, but I canna think of it just now.
Just love anything that Bonnie does!!
i feel a gentle light and fresh calm over the early water when i hear this beautiful voice... d in canada+
touchy ! And coming from mature persons which have seen a bit during the years...
God only knows that we can we do
No more or less than he'll allow
God only knows that we mean well
God knows that we just don't know how
But I'll try to be your light in love
And pray that is enough for now
I'll try to be your light in love
And pray that is enough for now
I'll pray that is enough for now
I'll pray that is enough for now
I'll pray that is enough for now
I'll pray that is enough for now
Lovers laugh and cross this way
Weaving out and into the street
It seems we never were so young
Or it was never quite so sweet
But the world is always beautiful
When it's seen in full retreat
The worst of life is beautiful
As it slips away in full retreat
Darkness settles on the ground
Leaves the day stumbling blind
Coming to a quiet close
And maybe just in time
We almost lost the heart to know
How to keep our best in mind
We almost lost the heart to know
How to keep our best in mind
Time has turned an angry face
Throws a dark eye back to sea
What will pass for mercy now
We practice unforgivingly
As if might and will make right
Or either one will make us free
As if might and will make right
Or either one will make us free
any place I can see the lyrics? Thanks so much. LOVE this song. also found out about from Private Practice. (why did they have to cancel that?)
Simply Beautiful!
