Better Make It Through Today
by Eric Clapton

Life is what you make it,
That's what the people say.
And if I can't make it through tomorrow,
I'd better make it through today.


I have had my share of troubles;
It's nothing new to me.
When I look around me,
All I see is misery.


Life is what you make it,
At least that's what the people say.
And if we can't make it through tomorrow
We'd better make it through today, through today.
Through today.

Black Rose
by Troy Seals and Eddie Setser

The dogs are howling at the midnight moon.
I'm on my way to where the black rose blooms.
The mountain's high, the night is cold.
I feel the sunshine; a black rose grows.


Together again, we're as common as sin, they say,
We just walk around the stones they throw.
Night after night, we steal away to where
Love don't see no colors in the shadows,
Love don't see no colors in the shadows.


Wind in the willows, wild and warm,
Just like the woman lying here in my arms.
The water's deep, cold and still.

Black Summer Rain
by Eric Clapton

Where is the sun,
The sun that used to shine on me?
Where has it gone
Or is it just a memory?


I looked through the window,
Staring at the sky,
Waiting for a moment
That always passed me by.


Black summer rain,
Black summer rain,
Black summer rain is falling on me, girl.


Where is the love,
The love I need to set me free?
And how can I escape
This gloom that is swallowing me?

Blow Wind Blow
by McKinley Morganfield

When the sun rose this morning,
I didn't have my baby by my side.
When the sun rose this morning,
I didn't have my baby by my side.
I don't know where she was,
I know she's out with some another guy.


Don't the sun look lonesome
Shading down behind the trees?
Don't the sun look lonesome
Shading down behind the trees?
But don't your house look lonesome
When your baby's packed to leave.


Blow wind, blow wind,
Blow my baby back to me.
Blow wind, blow wind,
Blow my baby back to me.

Blue Condition
by Ginger Baker

Don't take the wrong direction passing through
Instead of deep reflection of what's true,
For it's a combination of judgments made by you
That cause a deep dejection all the way through.


No relaxation, no conversation, no variation
In a very dark blue, blue condition.


Early rising every day.
You must be enterprising in your way,
For you will hear no laughter, nor see the sun;
Life would be one disaster all the way through.

Blue Eyes Blue
by Diane Warren

I thought that you'd be loving me.
I thought you were the one who'd stay forever.
But now forever's come and gone
And I'm still here alone.


'Cause you were only playing,
You were only playing with my heart.
I was never waiting,
I was never waiting for the tears to start.


It was you who put the clouds around me.
It was you who made the tears fall down.
It was you who broke my heart in pieces.
It was you, it was you who made my blue eyes blue.
Oh, I never should have trusted you.


I thought that I'd be all you need.
In your eyes I thought I saw my heaven.
And now my heaven's gone away
And I'm out in the cold.

Blues Before Sunrise
by Leroy Carr

I have the blues before sunrise,
Tears standing in my eyes.
I have the blues before sunrise,
Tears standing in my eyes.
It was a miserable feeling, now babe,
A feeling I do despise.


I have to leave, leave you baby,
Because you know you done me wrong.
I have to leave you baby,
Because you know you done me wrong.
I'm gonna pack up and leave you darling
And break up my happy home.


I have to leave, leave you baby,
I'm gonna leave you all alone.
I'm gonna leave you baby,
I'm gonna leave you all alone.

I'm gonna leave you all alone.
I'm gonna leave you baby,
I'm gonna leave you all alone.
