Nell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

To all the gods I pray
Take away the pain and sorrow
To all the gods I pray
Take away the pain and sorrow
And sorrow
So dark the night inside
No flame in here alive
I will never give up
I will change myself
I will never give up
In my life
I will never give up
I will change myself
I'm following the river
I don't look back.

To all the gods I pray
Break the chains and light tomorrow
To all the gods I pray
Break the chains and light tomorrow
tomorrow
So dark the night inside
No flame in here alive

I will never give up
I will change myself
I will never give up
In my life
I will never give up
I will change myself




I'm following the river
I don't look back.

If Nell wasn’t sick in reality, she did an amazing job acting sick. I loved this show in the 80’s and I love it even more today! Ready in paradise, Nell and Dolph! They were a great team!❤️❤️❤️

Her story is so heartbreaking and amazing at the same time. I would love to see a movie about her life. R.I.P Aunt Nell.

Susan Kaplan

I loved this show! Cable needs a channel with just 70's and 80's shows!

Petal Blossom

That would be SO awesome

@Petal Blossom there is one called Dejaview. Old sitcoms and shows from that time. I hope it’s available in your area. I’m in Canada and it’s available here.
