Count Basie, Joe Williams - Please Send Me Someone To Love

When the evening the evening sun goes down
You're gonna find me somewhere hanging around
The night life people it ain't no good life
But it's my life yeah
All the people just like you and me
Everybody's dreaming
Dreaming about their old used to be
The night life hey it ain't no good life people
Oh but it's my life
Yes listen to the blues people
Listen to what they're saying
Yes listen to the blues people
Listen to the way they're playing
Heaven please send to all mankind
Understanding and peace of mind
If it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love someone to love
Show the world show them how to get along
Peace will enter when hate is gone
If it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love
Please send me someone to love
Nights I lay awake and ponder world's troubles
And my answer is always the same
Unless man put an end to this damnable sin
Hate will put the world in a flame what a shame
Just because I'm because I'm in misery
Oh I don't beg I don't beg for no sympathy
But if it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love yeah
Oh the night life people it ain't no good life
But it's my life yeah
So please please please please please please
Please send me someone to love
Someone to love
Yes well excuse me
When the evening the evening sun goes down
You're gonna find me somewhere hanging around
The night life people it ain't no good life
But it's my life yeah
All the people just like you and me
Everybody's dreaming
Dreaming about their old used to be
The night life hey it ain't no good life people
Oh but it's my life
Yes listen to the blues people
Listen to what they're saying
Yes listen to the blues people
Listen to the way they're playing
Heaven please send to all mankind
Understanding and peace of mind
If it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love someone to love
Show the world show them how to get along
Peace will enter when hate is gone
If it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love
Please send me someone to love
Nights I lay awake and ponder world's troubles
And my answer is always the same
Unless man put an end to this damnable sin
Hate will put the world in a flame what a shame
Just because I'm because I'm in misery
Oh I don't beg I don't beg for no sympathy
