Andrew Lloyd Webber - Everything's Alright

Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to
Problems that upset you oh don't you know
Everything's alright yes everything's fine
And we want you to sleep well tonight
Let the world turn without you tonight
If we try we'll get by so forget all about us tonight

Everything's alright yes everything's alright yes

Sleep and I shall soothe you, calm you and anoint you
Myrrh for your hot forehead and then you'll feel
Everything's alright yes everything's fine
And it's cool and the ointment's sweet
For the fire in your head and feet
Close your eyes close your eyes
And relax think of nothing tonight

Everything's alright yes everything's alright yes

Woman your fine oinment - brand new and expensive
Could have been saved for the poor
Why has it been wasted? We could have raised maybe
Three hundred silver pieces or more
People who are hungry, people who are starving
Matter more than your feet and hair

Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to
Problems that upset you oh don't you know
Everything's alright yes everything's fine
And we want you to sleep well tonight
Let the world turn without you tonight
If we try we'll get by so forget all about us tonight

Everything's alright yes everything's alright yes

Surely you're not saying we have the resources
To save the poor from their lot?
There will be poor always pathetically struggling -
Look at the good things you've got!
Think! While you still have me
Move! While you still see me
You'll be lost you'll be so sorry when I'm gone

Sleep and I shall soothe you, calm you and anoint you
Myrrh for your hot forehead and then you'll feel
Everything's alright yes everything's fine
And it's cool and the ointment's sweet
For the fire in your head and feet
Close your eyes close your eyes
And relax think of nothing tonight

Everything's alright yes everything's alright yes
