This Bitter Earth
Composer(s): Clyde Otis
First recording/First release by: Dinah Washington - 1959/1960
Covered by multiple other artists
This bitter earth, well, what a fruit it bears!
What good is love, mmm, that no one shares?
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 are 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, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
May not, ohhh, be so bitter after all!
