a.s. fanning - louis armstrong lyrics
sit down here and talk to me
i promise there’s nowhere i’d rather be
life is good, life is sad
and i can’t imagine the day you’ve had
living is easy, you just don’t stop
if you just keep moving you’ll soon be back on top
you were still wild
expecting your first child
just a man my age
thick+skinned and strange, but i find it hard to tell
though i know i knew you well
if i looked and saw a different man
in a picture upon the shelf
i don’t know why, not on my soul
i don’t know if i’m surprised
or if i understand that young man
if that changed you in my eyes
but the rain came down in new orleans
and i heard that you cried
the day that louis armstrong died
this cruel old world spits you out and sucks you in
and every time you think you’re down
it’ll put you down again
but time goes by, though you’ll feel bad my friend
i can only pray the joy outweighs the sadness in the end
i don’t know why, not on my soul
i don’t know if i’m surprised
or if i understand that young man
if that changed you in my eyes
but the rain came down in new orleans
and i heard that you cried
the day louis armstrong died
