  • I'd Rather Go Blind Etta James
    Something told me it was over
    when I saw you and her talking,
    Something deep down in my soul said, ´Cry Girl´,
    when I saw you and that girl, walking out.
    I would rather, I would rather go blind boy,
    Than to see you, walk away from me chil.
    Ooooo So you see, I love you so much
    That I don't want to watch you leave me baby,
    Most of all, I just don't, I just don't want to be
    free no
    I was just, I was just, I was just sitting here
    thinking
    Of your kisses and your warm embrace, yeah,
    When the reflection in the glass that I held to my
    lips now baby,
    Revealed the tears that was on my face, yeah.
    And baby, baby, I would rather be blind boy
    Than to see you walk away, see you walk away from me,
    yeah
    Baby, baby, baby, I'd rather be blind now

    I remember this song, and many others, of this time . All of them were very powerful, and turned many ears . This was one of my favorites, because of it's timing, and arrangement, Jetta James, was a Female Master . The 60's were very special time for music, just find Etta . hard life (MULDEW)

    Saw etta perform this at the Great American in San Francisco about 20 years ago. Still the absolutely best vocal performance I have ever ever seen anywhere by anyone ( even topped Sarah Vaughan at Newport!). No one can compare to the great Etta James.

    Etta James had a easy way of singing that was hard to not listen too, her
    voice had a personal message to everyone that heard it. Queen Etta RIP.

    There are some people who come to this earth and they leave a mark that can never be replaced. Etta James has a unique style and pain to her voice even when she smiles.. I love this song but the best is Way Down Low and everyone loves At Last...Appreciate you hooking me up Elmo Christian

    If I can't relate to this, girl. Song of my heart. Song winging from my Soul.
    There's not another girl that would take care of him like I would! And she better take perfect care of him and get to know his soul. His spirit, his every thought. Fears, insecurities if any. Joys, dreams, what makes him laugh til he lays over. She better be his best angel... and NEVER leave him. Hurt him. Or show any other man a spec of anything like that man is first. This girl better let the World Know ...what love

    is through them. And treat him like the King he is. See, not every man is a king. Hell, not every man is even a Man. So she better let her wings span the size of the earth, and stretch to the sun, and be that angel for him. Cause I SWEAR, I'd rather go blind... than to see that not happen. :(
    I love him. More than these words.

You then said I taught you a lesson, I did not ask, I should have, then you told me how you just bought our rooftop apt. 54 fls.you said you just had closed on it. I could have taken u back in a field, I Loved you. We dreamed of this one day, who would get it first, end of story "Imagine what he can see from the 54th penthouse, & I am blind!
