Dinah Washington - This Bitter Earth (with Belford Hendricks) Lyrics

Lyrics This Bitter Earth (with Belford Hendricks) - Dinah Washington

This bitter earth

Well, what fruit it bears

Ooooh, this bitter earth

And if my life is like the dust

Ooh that hides the glow of a rose

What good am I

Heaven only knows

Lord, this bitter earth

Yes, can be so cold

Today you're young

Too soon, you're old

But while a voice within me cries

I'm sure someone may answer my call

And this bitter earth

Ooooh may not

Oh be so bitter after all

This bitter earth

Lord, this bitter earth

What good is love

Mmmm that no one shares

And if my life is like the dust

Oooh that hides the glow of a rose

What good am I

Heaven only knows

Writer(s): Clyde Lovern Otis
