Al Jarreau Alonzo Lyrics

And by the way...

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
To rule her with feet of sand and clay

Chorus:
Alonzo declared that he must
"Reach to heaven - for heaven"
Alonzo declared that he must
"Reach to heaven - for heaven"
(Repeat 2x)

[Instrumental break]

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

(Chorus)

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 (x4)

Warm your heart
So warm the sun
Warm your soul
And by the way...

Welcome, Alonzo
So good to see you
Welcome, Alonzo
