Feeling Good: Love for Nina Simone

Cris Monay

You know how this feels
When everything is right
You know what Nina said
"im feeling good"

Its like the whisper of the clouds
Saying hello to the sky
While you watch

Caterpillar creeping up your leg
Joy aint even the word
Dew drops no tear drops
Rain-dropping aint even stopping
This freedom

Cant nobody take your smile
Because its planted in the yellow of those lilacs
Swaying forth...swaying back

What it feel like...
I cant even tell you
Its like tomorrow done come
And told all its business
Good news aint even the word

Peace
is
loud
Sounds like the trees
Singing to the leaves

First thang you wake up..
And well,
that shine of sun
Love aint even the word

Tap dancing
On the streets
With the each pace
Even your strides cant break

Run through this valley
All you see are the hills
No mounds
We aint bound to nothing

It's a new day...more like to-day
'Feelin good'
You know what I mean.
