A CLOCK THAT'S GOT NO HANDS

Della Reese - 1964


Oh, I'm gonna get a clock that's got no hands
And keeps no time at all
Yes, I'm gettin' me a clock that's got no hands
And I'm hangin' it on my wall

Why rush if there's nowhere to go
And no one there to see
Might as well get me a clock that's got no hands
Since you went and wound up your love affair with me

I'm gonna find a new kind of a calendar
That I end with yesterday
So I never have to mark each lonely day
That you have been away

Although it's true I lost your kiss
My memory will last
If I get myself a clock that's got no hands
And live in love's sweet and glorious past

(Instrumental Break)

Although it's true I lost your kiss
My memory will last
If I get myself a clock that's got no hands
And live in love's sweet and glorious past

If I get myself a clock a-that's a-got no hands
Yeah, yeah, I gotta get a clock
A-that's a-got no hands...........FADE
