You are So Beautiful Lyric

You are so beautiful

Song Notes : "This Billy Preston/Bruce Fisher song was first recorded by Preston on his 1974 album The Kids and Me and was the B-side of his hit single "Nothing From Nothing." Producer Jim Price created a slower arrangement for Cocker's cover"

Fisher was Preston's songwriting partner and he co-wrote both Preston's American charttoppers, "Will It Go Round in Circles" and "Nothing From Nothing."

"Legend surrounding "You are So Beautiful" claims that Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys helped Preston complete it. Wilson received no songwriting credits but he sang this song for many years at Beach Boys concerts"

Joe Cocker - With a Little Help From My Friend

Live at Woodstock 1969

With a Little Help From My Friend Lyric

What would you think if I sang out of tune?
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not to sing out of key

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

What do I do when my love is away?
Does it worry you to be alone?
How do I feel by the end of the day?
Are you sad because you're on your own?

No, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody?
I need somebody to love
Could it be anybody?
I want somebody to love

Would you believe in a love at first sight?
Yes, I'm certain that it happens all the time
What do you see when you turn out the light
I can't tell you but I know it's mine,

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody?
I just need someone to love
Could it be anybody?
I want somebody to love

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
With a little help from my friends

Song Note : "John Lennon and Paul McCartney wrote this. The Beatles recorded it a year earlier. The Beatles were so impressed with Cocker's version of this that they sent him a telegram of congratulations and placed an ad in the music papers praising it"

"This was recorded in 3/4 time - a waltz. The Beatles original version was in traditional 4/4 time"

Cocker also covered The Beatles "I'll Cry Instead," "She Came In Through The Bathroom Window," and "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away."

"Joe Cocker is only one of 2 acts who performed at Woodstock to have had a UK #1 hit. The other was Jimi Hendrix, who had a chart topper with 'Voodoo Child (Slight Return)'. "
