Lyrics Lawd, You Made the Night Too Long - Bing Crosby, The Boswell Sisters, Don Redman

Lawd, You Made the Night Too Long

You made the rivers flow, the flowers grow
You made the weak and the strong
But, Lord, you made the night too long
You made the robin sing a song of spring
And me you gave a lovely song
Oh, Lord, that’s why this night’s so long
I’ve got a heart and I’ve got a cabin
The door is open wide
What good’s a heart and what good’s a cabin
If nobody lives inside
You made the mountain high, the earth, the sky
So who am I to say you’re wrong?
But Lord, you made the night too long
You gave me arms, but they’re empty
You gave me hope.
It’s empty too
I’m singin' hallelujah, hallelujah to you
Believin' in you, believin' in you
It’s not my fault my heart keeps cryin'
Lord, you made the night too long
