This Bitter Earth

This bitter earth Well, what a fruit it bears What good is love Mmh, that no one shares? And if my life is like the dust Ooh, that hides the glow of a rose What good am I? Heaven only knows Oh, this bitter earth Yes, can it 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 --- This Bitter Earth - Dinah Washington and John Metcalfe
