This Bitter Earth – Jackie Wilson (originally by Dinah Washington)

This bitter earth What fruit it bears What good is love That no one shares And if my life is like the dust That hides the glow of a rose What good am I Heaven only knows
Lord, this bitter earth Can be so cold (yes it can) Today you might be young Too soon, you’re old But while a voice within me cries Maybe someone may answer my call Then this bitter earth May not be so bitter, bitter after all
