Chuck Jackson Lyrics
I still love you
Like I did before
But before you smile
And walk through the door, darling
I don't wanna cry, I don't wanna cry
No more, no, darling, no more
You come and go
Like the morning sunI was so serious
But you were having fun, now, baby, now
I don't wanna cry, I don't wanna cry
No more, no, darling, no more
Welcome to my lips
Welcome to my arms
Oh, welcome to my
My little heart
Girl, you are welcome
To everything I have to offer you
So come on and now, take it
Take any part, yeah, yeah, yeah
Mama, I know I've been wrong
I need you, come on home but before you get here
I don't wanna cry, I don't wanna cry
No more, no, darling, no more
Come on, walk on in, walk on in
You can come on in
Baby, baby, baby, baby, walk on in
Baby, walk on in
Like I did before
But before you smile
And walk through the door, darling
I don't wanna cry, I don't wanna cry
No more, no, darling, no more
You come and go
Like the morning sunI was so serious
But you were having fun, now, baby, now
I don't wanna cry, I don't wanna cry
No more, no, darling, no more
Welcome to my lips
Welcome to my arms
Oh, welcome to my
My little heart
Girl, you are welcome
To everything I have to offer you
So come on and now, take it
Take any part, yeah, yeah, yeah

Chuck Jackson, Jackie Wilson, and Sam Cooke.
🗣The voices, the talent, the smooth moves on stage of these three soul singers.
What a great time for that generation.
Just some of the names of a few of the talented recording artists of the 60's.
I have not seen anything like that kind of talent here in the 21st century IMO.
RIP Chuck Jackson, Jackie Wilson and the Great Sam Cooke!!
A blast from the past.
I needed that.
It was good for my SOUL!!
