BILLIE HOLIDAY - I'M PULLING THROUGH lyrics

Arthur Herzog Jr. / Irene Kitchings

I'm pulling trough and it's because of you!

When I was stranded came your helping hand

Lonely, hurt I had not known which way to turn

'Til you said, "Try smiles, not tears, just laugh and learn"

I'm pulling trough and it's because of you!

You made me see how lovely life could be

Lifted up my heart and made me count the cost

To find I'd gained, not lost!

When I thought that hope was really gone

You showed me I was wrong

And you taught me how to carry on

Thanks for the lift in time and thanks for this song!

I'm pulling trough and it's because of you!

I'd do the same for youif your turn came

Hope it never will

for I've been though the mill

I won't get this debt

I'm pulling trough
