Sunday Serenade: nothing compares to you

I'm gonna continue with my "oldies" songs sharing.. :)

This week, it's a song from a lady whom I remembered, first and foremost, as a brave woman who dared to shave her head and walked around bald.. yeah, I know, head shaving is no biggie, but back in the 1980s, it was a big deal.. at least to me.. :p

Anyway, enjoy this song from Sinead O'Connor..

Nothing compares to you
performed by Sinead O'Connor

It's been seven hours and fifteen days
Since you took your love away

I go out every night and sleep all day
Since you took your love away

Since you been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose

I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing ...
I said nothing can take away these blues,
'Cause nothing compares ...
Nothing compares to you

It's been so lonely without you here
Like a bird without a song

Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me baby, where did I go wrong?

I could put my arms around every boy I see
But they'd only remind me of you

I went to the doctor guess what he told me
Guess what he told me?
He said, girl, you better have fun
No matter what you do
But he's a fool ...
'Cause nothing compares ...
Nothing compares to you ...

All the flowers that you planted, mama
In the back yard
All died when you went away

I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard
But I'm willing to give it another try

Nothing compares ...
Nothing compares to you

(Repeat 2 x)





Have a good week ahead! Stay safe and healthy!!
