This song was originally composed for the 1996 musical film Grace of My Heart, which is the story of an aspiring singer who instead finds success as a Brill Building songwriter. The script required a collection of new songs that could pass for hits in the late 1950s-early 1960s, so various songwrite...
[Verse 1]
Now I have nothing so God give me strength
'Cause I'm weak in her wake
And if I'm strong, I might still break
And I don't have anything to share
That I won't throw away into the air
[Chorus]
That song is sung out
This bell is rung out
She was the light that I'd bless
She took my last chance of happiness
So God give me strength
God give me strength
[Verse 2]
I can't hold on to, God give me strength
When the phone doesn't ring
And I'm lost in imagining
Everything that kind of love is worth
As I tumble back down to the earth
[Chorus]
That song is sung out
This bell is rung out
She was the light that I'd bless
She took my last chance of happiness
So God give me strength
God if
[Bridge]
She'd grant me her indulgence and decline
I might as well wipe her from my memory
Fracture the spell as she becomes my enemy
Maybe I was washed out like a lip-print on a shirt
See, I'm only human, I want him to hurt
I want him, I want him to hurt
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Since I lost the power to pretend
That there could ever be a happy ending
[Chorus]
That song is sung out
This bell is rung out
She was the light that I'd bless
She took my last chance of happiness
So God give me strength
God give me strength
[Outro]
Wipe her from my memory
I might as well
God give me strength
God give me strength
I might as well
