listening to The Spinners: "i'll be around." this song has an uncomfortable edge of love that is nervous and unsteady. it reminds me of riding in the car, on the way to the dentist or doctor.

Happy Birthday, Al Green!

Today is Al Green's birthday.

The wind is low, the birds will sing

Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play?
Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day

The sun is up, the sky is blue
It's beautiful and so are you
Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play?

Dear Prudence, open up your eyes
Dear Prudence, see the sunny skies
The wind is low, the birds will sing
That you are part of everything
Dear Prudence, won't you open up your eyes?

Look around, around
Look around, around, around
Look around

Dear Prudence, let me see you smile
Dear Prudence, like a little child
The clouds will be a daisy chain
So let me see you smile again
Dear Prudence won't you let me see you smile?

'Dear Prudence' is one of the sweetest songs. Written by John Lennon to cheer up Prudence Farrow when she wouldn't come out of her room.
