Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes – Sam Cooke Medley: lyrics

Only Sixteen
(S. Cooke)

She was only sixteen
Only sixteen
Oh, I loved her so
But she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know

We'd laugh and we'd sing
And do little things
That makes our hearts glow
But she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know

So, why did I give my heart away?
It will never happen again
But I was a mere lad of sixteen
I've aged a year since then
Yes, I have

(What A) Wonderful World
(B. Campbell/H. Alpert/L. Adler)

Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about the French I took
Don't know much about science book

But I do know that I love you
And I know that if you love me too
What a wonderful world this would be
So wonderful
So wonderful
So wonderful
So wonderful

You Send Me
(L. Cooke)

I know you send me
I know you send me
I know that you send me
Honest you do
Honest you do
Honest you do

Ooh, you thrill me
Baby, you you you you thrill me
I know you you thrill me
Honest you do

At first I thought it was an infatuation
But, ooh, it lasted so long, so long
Now I find myself wanting
Just to marry you
And take you home

Woo, you send me baby
You you send me
I know that you send me
Honest you do

A Change Is Gonna Come
(S. Cooke)

I was born by the river
In a little tent
And just like the river
I've been falling ever since

It's been a long, long time coming
But I know a change gonna come
Oh, yes it is
