Abbey Lincoln Throw It Away Lyrics

Throw It Away Lyrics

I think about the life I live

A figure made of clay

And think about the things I lost

The things I gave away



And when I'm in a certain mood

I search the house and look

One night I found these magic words

In a magic book



Throw it away

Throw it away

Give your love, live your life

Each and every day



And keep your hand wide open

Let the sun shine through

'Cause you can never lose a thing

If it belongs to you



There's a hand to rock the cradle

And a hand to help us stand

With a gentle kind of motion

As it moves across the land



And the hand's unclenched and open

Gifts of life and love it brings

So keep your hand wide open

If you're needing anything



Throw it away

Throw it away

Give your love, live your life

Each and every day



And keep your hand wide open

Let the sun shine through

'Cause you can never lose a thing

If it belongs to you



Throw it away

Throw it away

Give your love, live your life

Each and every day



And keep your hand wide open

Let the sun shine through

'Cause you can never lose a thing

If it belongs to you



'Cause you can never lose a thing

If it belongs to you

You can never ever lose a thing

If it belongs to you



You can never ever lose a thing

If it belongs to you

You can never ever lose a thing

If it belongs to you
