You Send Me
"You Send Me", written and sung by singer / songwriter, Sam Cooke, became an instant hit when released in 1957. It topped the US Billoard Pop and R&B singles charts for 2 weeks in November.
The record established Cooke as a mainstream R&B singer, apart from his gospel roots. And since its release, the song has become a landmark record of the soul genre, which Cooke helped create.
The song has been covered by a number of artists, including Nat King Cole, The Drifters, Everly Brothers, Jose Feliciano, Aretha Franklin, The Supremes, Rod Stewart and Michael Bolton, etc.
Lyrics:
Darling you send me
I know you send me
Darling you send me
Honest you do, honest you do
Honest you do
whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh you thrill me
I know you, you, you thrill me
Darling you, you, you, you thrill me
Honest you do
At first I thought it was infatuation
But woo, it's lasted so long
Now I find myself wanting
To marry you and take you home
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh you, you, you, you send me
I know you send me
I know you send me
Honest you do
Whoa-oh-oh, whenever I'm with you
I know, I know, I know when I'm near you
Mmm hmm, mmm hmm, honest you do, honest you do
Whoa-oh-oh, I know-oh-oh-oh
I know, I know, I know, when you hold me
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, whenever you kiss me
Mmm hmm, mmm hmm, honest you do
At first I thought it was infatuation
But woo, it's lasted so long
Now I find myself wanting
To marry you and take you home
I know, I know, I know, you send me
I know you send me
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, you you you you send me
Honest you do
