From January to March I'll tell the world
The icy winds make me cry.
From April Fool’s Day to June I'll tell the world
My tears are rain - Oh, what I lie!

I just can't tell the world,
I can't tell them that I've lost you,
Oh, no I can't –
'Cause I can't break the news to myself.

From July to September I'll tell the world
The burning sun has me down.
From October thru December I'll tell the world
We don't date 'cause I'm snow bound.

I just can't tell the world,
I can't tell them that I've lost you,
Oh no, I can't –

'Cause I can't break the news to myself.

Crimson & Clover is a 1969 album by Tommy James and the Shondells. It features the #1 hit "Crimson and Clover" (in an extended, five-and-a-half minute long version) as well as the #2 hit "Crystal Blue Persuasion". The album itself was also a success, reaching #8 on the pop albums chart.
"Crimson and Clover" is a 1968 song by American rock band Tommy James and the Shondells. Written by the duo of Tommy James and drummer Peter Lucia Jr., it was intended as a change in direction of the group's sound and composition.
"Crimson and Clover" was released in late 1968 as a rough mix after a radio station leaked it. It spent 16 weeks on the U.S. charts, reaching number one in the United States (in February 1969) and other countries. The single has sold 5 million copies, making it Tommy James and the Shondells' best-selling song. It has been covered by many artists such as Joan Jett and Prince.
In 2006, Pitchfork Media named it the 57th best song of the 1960s.




Now, I don't hardly know her,
But, think I could love her
Crimson and clover.
I wish she'd come walking over, I'm waiting to show her,

Crimson and clover
Over and over

Yes, my, my, such a sweet thing,
I wanna do everything
What a beautiful feeling.

Crimson and clover
Over and over

So long, I've been looking too hard
I've been waiting too long
Sometimes I don't know what I will find
I only know it's a matter of time
When you love someone
When you love someone

It feels so right, so warm and true
I need to know if you feel it too

Maybe I'm wrong,
Won't you tell me if I'm coming on too strong
This heart of mine has been hurt before,
This time I wanna be sure

I've been waiting for a girl like you to come into my life
I've been waiting for a girl like you, whom love I will survive
I've been waiting, someone new to make me feel alive
Yeah, waiting for a girl like you to come into my life

You're so good, when we make love it's understood
It's more than a touch or a word we say
Only in dreams could it be this way
When you love someone, yeah
I really love someone

Now I know it's right
From the moment I wake up till deep in the night
There's nowhere on earth that I'd rather be
Than holding you tenderly

I've been waiting for a girl like you to come into my life
I've been waiting for a girl like you, whom love I will survive
I've been waiting for someone new to make me feel alive
Yeah, waiting for a girl like you to come into my life

I've been waiting
Waiting for you, ooh
I've been waiting
I've been waiting
(I've been waiting for a girl like you, I've been waiting)

Won't you come into my life?

B." em seu nome significa Blues Boy, seu pseudônimo como moderador na rádio W. Foi considerado, ao lado de Eric Clapton e Jimi Hendrix, um dos melhores guitarristas do mundo pela revista norte-americana Rolling Stone. Ao longo da sua carreira, B.B. King foi distinguido com 15 prémios Grammy, tendo sido o criador de um estilo musical único e que faria dele um dos músicos mais respeitados e influentes de blues, tendo ganho o epíteto de Rei dos Blues.
Era apreciado por seus solos, nos quais, ao contrário de muitos guitarristas, preferia usar poucas notas. Certa vez, B.B. King teria dito: "posso fazer uma nota valer por mil".





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 how to get along
Peace will enter when hate is gone
So if it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love
Someone to love

Nights I lay awake and ponder the world's troubles
And my answer is always the same
Yet unless man puts an end to this terrible sin
Hate will put the world in a flame, what a shame
Just because I'm, because I'm in misery
I don't ask for no sympathy
But if it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love

Nights I lay awake and ponder the world's troubles
And my answer is always the same
Yet unless man puts an end to this terrible sin
Hate is gonna put the world in a flame, oh what a shame
Just because I'm, because I'm in misery
I don't ask for no no, no sympathy
But if it's not asking too much, asking too much
Please send me someone to love
Please, please, please
Please send me someone to love

Send me someone to love
