Dearest Darling Lyrics by Al Kooper

New York City (You’re a Woman)

McDaniel

Dearest darling
Dearest darling
Dearest darling

Don't you know
The Lord above
Created you
Just for me to love
Picked you out
From all the rest
Because He knew I
Loved you best

Dearest darling
Dearest darling
Dearest darling
Take my hand, take
My hand

I once had a heart
So trill and true
But now it's gone
From me to you
Take care of it
Like I have done
For you have two hearts
And I have none

Dearest darling
Dearest darling
Dearest darling

If I get to heaven
Before you do
I'll try to make a hole
And pull you thru

Dearest...dearest...dearest

If I go to heaven
And you not there
I'm gonna write your name
On the heavenly stair
If you aren't there
By turn of day
Then I know baby
You know the way

Dearest...dearest...dearest
O sweet baby, o sweet baby...
