LYRICS:
It's impossible
Tell the sun to leave the sky
It's just impossible
It's impossible
Ask a baby not to cry
It's just impossible
Can I hold you
Closer to me
And not feel you
Going through me
Split the second
That I never think of you
Oh how impossible
Can the ocean
Keep from rushing to the shore
It's just impossible
If I hold you
Could I ever want for more
It's just impossible
And tomorrow
Should you ask me for the world
Somehow I'd get it
I would sell my very soul
And not regret it
For to live without your love
Is just impossible
Can the ocean
Keep from rushing to the shore
It's just impossible
If I hold you
Could I ever want for more
It's just impossible
And tomorrow
Should you ask me for the world
Somehow I'd get it
I would sell my very soulAnd not regret it
For to live without your love
Is just impossible
It's impossible
It's impossible
It's impossible
Yesterday I Heard the Rain was recorded and released on Shirley's 1970 LP titled, 'Shirley Bassey - Something'
LYRICS: Yesterday I Heard The Rain:
Yesterday I heard the rain,
whispering your name,
asking where you'd gone . . .
It fell softly from the clouds
on the silent crowds,
as I wandered on . . .
Out of doorways
black umbrellas came to pursue me,
Faceless people as they passed
were looking through me,
no one knew me . . .
Yesterday I shut my eyes,
face-up to the skies,
drinkin' in the rain . . .
But your image still was there
floating in the air,
brighter than a flame . . .
Yesterday I saw a city,
full of shadows without pity,
and I heard the steady rain,
whispering your name,
Whispering your name . . .
Yesterday I saw a city,
full of shadows without pity,
and I heard the steady rain,
whispering your name,
whispering your name,
whispering your name . . .
