Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I had the blues in sight
Thinkin' about good times we had and how time passes at night
Oh my sweet baby those smiles that you bring
Lovin' you for your lovin' touch lovin' everything
And I gotta' say
Oooh my baby oooh my baby she's alright she's alright
Funny how it seems my love light shines in beams
And the clouds that come an chase the sun away
I'm thinkin' about you my sweet little girl but I know its raining outside
Will the clouds come and turn my love to grey
I've gotta save myself I said
Oooh my baby oooh my baby she's alright she's alright
Oooh my baby oooh sha' baby she's alright she's alright
She's alright she's alright
Well I feel the cool raindrops a fallin'
Yeah they're fallin' down on my head
Thinkin' how meaningless I feel
Feel like I ought to be dead
And I'm wondering if there's anyone out there who will ever understand me
I'm feelin' so alone I'm alone but I'm free and I've gotta' say
Oooh my baby oooh my baby she's alright she's alright
Oooh my baby oooh sha' baby she's alright she's alright
She's alright she's alright she's alright she's alright
