Nina Simone - Compassion Lyrics

Artist: Nina Simone

Album: Miscellaneous

  • Songwriters: Paul Laurence Dunbar, Nina Simone

Because I had loved so deeply
Because I had loved so long
God in His great compassion
Gave me the gift of song

Because I have loved so vainly
And sung with such faltering breath
Oh oh oh, the Master in
His infinite mercy
Offers the boon of death
