Al Jarreau – Alonzo lyrics

And when I think of Alonzo
He was king around the bay
He'd come sporting and flashing
Hearts would drift away

Could be he had a dream
Came upon the scene where the
Lamb and lion play
How could he start to school her
Or rule her with feet of sand and clay

Alonzo declared that he must
Reach to heaven - for heaven
Alonzo declared that he must
Reach to heaven - for heaven
Alonzo declared that he must
Reach to heaven - for heaven
Alonzo declared that he must
Reach to heaven - for heaven

Could be he had a dream
Came upon the scene where the
Lamb and lion play
How could he start to school her
Or rule her with feet of sand and clay

Alonzo declared that he must
Reach to heaven - for heaven
Alonzo declared that he must
Reach to heaven - for heaven
Alonzo declared that he must
Reach to heaven - for heaven
Alonzo declared that he must
Reach to heaven - for heaven

Don't you know Alonzo put
Out his hand one day
Don't you know Alonzo
lifted up his head to pray

So good for you, my dear Alonzo
So good for you, my dear Alonzo
So good for you, my dear Alonzo
So good for you, my dear Alonzo

Warm your heart
So warm the sun
Warm your soul

Welcome, Alonzo
So good to see you
Welcome, Alonzo
