Pledging My Love / The Clock - Aretha Franklin

Forever my darling our love will be true

Always and forever I’ll love only you

Just promise me darling your love in return

May this fire in my soul dear forever burn

My heart’s at your command dear to keep love and to hold

Making you happy is my desire, keeping you is everything of my goal

And I’ll forever, ever, ever love you the rest of my days

I’m not gonna, not gonna part from you on your loving ways

I looked at the face of the clock on the wall

But it doesn’t tell me, it takes time but it doesn’t tell me nothing at all

Face of the clock just stares at me, yeah

It knows I’m lonely, how I am, and how I always will be

I want to cry, cry my heart out

I want my baby back with me

There’s nothing but time to give out

Time doesn’t mean anything to me

Oh, if you hear me, come on back real soon, baby

Because this clock and I, oh, yeah, we’re so lonely in this room

Oh, lonely, lonely, lonely in this room

When I get at night, baby, so lonely in this room

Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, so lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely in this room

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
