05 Feb 04 - 02:32 AM (#1109754) Subject: Lyr Add: It's a pleasure to know you From: Alan.Ackerman The last line of IT'S A PLEASURE TO KNOW YOU (Carl Williams) is given as: But friends's the diamond, and trouble's the diamond mine. This is obviously a typo for: But friendship's the diamond, and trouble's the diamond mine. Also, the author's name is Karl, not Carl. See http://www.karlwilliams.com/end_of_time_lyrics.htm for the author's lyrics. From the CD "LIVING AT THE END OF TIME" by Karl Williams. Also sung (recorded?) by Faith Petric. |

You're obviously referring to the copy of IT'S A PLEASURE TO KNOW YOU in the Digital Tradition database. A good place to post corrections of this sort is the thread Attribution added: DT authors PermaThread - that's what the thread was set up for. (I've bookmarked that thread and have posted several corrections/additions to it myself.) I've already copied your information into that thread. Thanks again. |

Except for that one word "friendship's", I think our transcription is easier to read, since it has punctuation. It would be nice it we were right on the spelling of the songwriter's name, and on how to contact him for recording rights. -Joe Offer- IT'S A PLEASURE TO KNOW YOU (Karl Williams) It's a pleasure to know you And the comfort you bring... I came to your city after I left my home And I was a stranger dressed up in stranger's clothes Favors I needed but charity's out of style And rare as the beauty in the face of a trusting child Chorus: And it's a pleasure to know you A pleasure to see you smile A comfort to know We'll share the road awhile Pleasure is fleeting Comforts are far between It's a pleasure to know you And the comfort you bring They say life's a journey a highway from birth to death Mapped in despair and traveled in hopelessness Well they may believe it but just between you and me The trick to the traveling is all in the company Chorus Lovers may leave you lovers may turn away And children may scorn you you know they will someday The seasons are fickle and fate is not known as kind But friendship's a diamond and trouble's the diamond mine Chorus |
