CONFESSION IS GOOD FOR THE SOUL
Davis

as rec by Maxine Sullivan w The Cedric Wallace Orch  Nov 1944 New York


I said everywhere
That I just didn't care
The day you went away.
I knew that I lied
Because of my false pride,
But now I'm ready to say;

Confession is good for the soul,
Once I didn't think this was true!
Confession is good for the soul,
It has taught me what I never knew!

At last I've admitted
What I tried to hide;
I'm glad that I did it,
Truth can't be denied!

Confession is good for the soul,
I've been lost since I lost you!

At last I've admitted
What I tried to hide;
I'm glad that I did it,
Truth can't be denied!

Confession is good for the soul,
I've been lost since I lost you!
