Ellie My Love

There were times I left your heart it pain
Time again I’ve turned and walked away
I’d get to where I’m going just to find
Won’t be happy in this world if you’re not by my side
Ellie, my love so sweet

My heart told me to break away
Now I’m out here far away
Wish that I could hold you in the night
Then I’d wake up to a morning
that is warm and bright
Ellie, my love so sweet

Smile for me, won’t you, baby
Forever you’ll be on my mind
Drink with me, won’t you, baby
We’re gonna make it right this time
There’s no one else like you
Anything you want, I’ll do
Ellie, my love so sweet

My heart told me to break away
Now I’m out here far away
Wish that I could hold you in the night
Then I’d wake up to a morning
that is warm and bright
Ellie, my love so sweet

Smile for me, won’t you, baby
Forever you’ll be on my mind
Drink with me, won’t you, baby
We’re gonna make it right this time
There’s no one else like you
Anything you want, I’ll do
Ellie, my love so sweet
Smile for me, won’t you, baby
Forever you’ll be on my mind
Drink with me, won’t you, baby
We’re gonna make it right this time
There’s no one else like you
Anything you want, I’ll do
Ellie, my love so sweet


Wow! I didn't know Ray Charles covered this song!!
This song was originally Japanese popular song.
What a amazing work...he covered the song perfectly!
In my opinion, covered songs tend to lead bad imitation...especially in case songs are translated from other languages.
But Ray did a great job. I really love this song!

You know, my name is Erie...sounds similar to Ellie.
So my father always sang this song to me, and some of my co-workers did too when we went to Karaoke together in order to make me happy.
Next time, I'll ask them to sing in English...it's much more pleasant!
