LAWD, YOU MADE THE NIGHT TOO LONG - Louis Armstrong Music by Victor Young and lyrics by Sam Lewis. The Don Redman Orchestra version featured Bing Crosby and the Boswell Sisters. Night am creepin', slowly creepin', down the lane Stars are peeping', and I'm weepin' once again I'm not finding fault at all You're too big and I'm too small + Besides oh Lawd it's sinful to complain You made the river flow, the flowers grow You made the weak and the strong But Lawd, you made the night too long You made the robin sing a song of spring And me you gave a lonely song Oh Lawd that's why the night's so long BRIDGE I've got a heart and I got a cabin The door is open wide What good's a heart, and what good's a cabin if nobody lives inside? You made the mountain high, the earth the sky So who am I to say you're wrong but Lawd you made the night too long
