Thats all it took

Foi só isso que levou

Thats all it took

ela, ela veio da terra do algodãoshe, she came from the land of the cotton
terra que quase foi esquecida por todo mundoland that was nearly forgotten by everyone
e ela, ela trabalhou e se esforçou tantoand she, she worked and she slaved so hard
um grande campo era seu quintal sob o sol do deltaa big old field was her back yard in the delta sun
ooh, mas ela com certeza sabia cantarooh, but she sure could sing
ooh, ela com certeza sabia cantarooh, she sure could sing
e então ele olhou pra baixo e sentiu um pouco de penathen he looked down and he took a little pity
a cidade inteira jurou que ele decidiu ajudar ela de alguma formathe whole town swore he decided he'd help her some
mas ele não se importava se ela não era muito bonitabut he didn't mind if she wasn't very pretty
pois bem no fundo do seu coração ele sabia que ela era a únicafor deep inside his heart he knew she was the only one
ooh, mas ela com certeza sabia cantarooh, but she sure could sing
eh, ela com certeza sabia cantaryeah, she sure could sing
e ela tinha fé, ela tinha crençashe had faith, she had believing
e ela uniu todo o povo em cançõesshe led all the people together in singing
e ela orava toda noite pro senhor lá em cimaand she prayed every night to the lord up above
cantando aleluia, ooh aleluiasinging hallelujah, ooh hallelujah
e eles costumavam andar cantando músicas à beira do riothey use to walk singing songs by the river
mesmo quando ela sabia com certeza que tinha que ir emboraeven when she knew for sure she had to go away
e ela nunca soube o que a vida tinha pra oferecerand she never knew what her life had to give her
e nunca se preocupou com isso nem por um único diaand never had to worry about it for one single day
ooh meu, mas ela com certeza sabia cantarooh my but she sure could sing
ooh, ela com certeza sabia cantarooh, she sure could sing
e ela tinha fé, ela tinha crençashe had faith, she had believing
unindo todo o povo em cançõesled all the people together in singing
e ela orava toda noite pro senhor lá em cimaand she prayed every night to the lord up above
cantando aleluia, ooh aleluiasinging hallelujah, ooh hallelujah
