Lawd, You Made the Night Too Long (No. 2) - The Boswell Sisters

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
