Up In the Sky
Robert Cray Lyrics
He wants to be
Up in the sky, so high
Above the clouds, down below
So low
She wants to be
Right by his side
Lay on her back and watch the world
Pass by
You know that life's too long for the dying
But it's alright
Don't you know it's alright?
Up in the sky
They can finally be alone
Then they'll be no
Burden to anyone
Anymore
To anyone
Ever again
He puts his hat
Under his arm
Soon he is leaving, please don't be
Alarmed
She's packed a lunch
In a white paper bag
And told the nurses, they're all mad
Quite mad
Cause life's too short for the living
You know that life's too long for the dying
But it's alright
Don't you know it's alright?
Up in the sky
They can finally be alone
Then they'll be no
Burden to anyone
Anymore
Anyone
Ever again
SOLO
Mmmm
Up in the sky
They can finally be alone
Then they'll be no
Burden to anyone
Anymore
To anyone
Ever again
To anyone
Anymore
Anyone
Ever again
To anyone
Anymore
Anyone
Ever again

Robert Cray (born August 1, 1953, Columbus, Georgia) is an American blues guitarist and singer. A five-time Grammy Award winner, he has led his own band (the Robert Cray Band), as well as an acclaimed solo career. In 2011, Cray was inducted to the Blues Hall of Fame.
While Cray was among artists such as Stevie Ray Vaughan and George Thorogood who got wider radio airplay and regular MTV video exposure during the late 1980s, he started playing guitar in his early teens.

While Cray was among artists such as Stevie Ray Vaughan and George Thorogood who got wider radio airplay and regular MTV video exposure during the late 1980s, he started playing guitar in his early teens. At Denbigh High School in Newport News, Virginia, his love of blues and soul music flourished as he started collecting records. Originally, Robert Cray wanted to become an architect, but at about the same time he was going to study design in architecture he formed a local band "Steakface", described as "the best band from Lakewood you never heard of". Cray on guitar and vocals contributed greatly to Steakface's set list of songs by Jimi Hendrix, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Fleetwood Mac, the Grease Band, Blodwyn Pig, Jethro Tull, Forever More, Spirit, and The Faces.
By the time he was twenty, Cray had seen his heroes Albert Collins, Freddie King and Muddy Waters in concert, and decided to form his own band. His band started playing college towns on the west coast. After several years of regional success, Cray was signed to Mercury Records in 1982. His third release, Strong Persuader, received a Grammy Award, while the crossover single "Smokin' Gun" gave him wider appeal and name recognition.
By then Cray was an opening act for such major stars as Eric Clapton (who remains a friend to this day), and sold out larger venues as a solo artist. Cray has generally played Fender guitars (Telecasters and Stratocasters) and there are two signature Robert Cray Stratocasters models available from Fender.
Cray continues to record and tour.

Greatissimo, Robert has often words of wisdom in his lyrics
Allen Allen
We can't forget that everyone's not born on top, and those who feel that people who don't look like them an act like they consider them and they're not to be included in society there used to fuel this machine that we call the human race it's not all inclusive
