So lucky to be loving you

A bullet had found him  
His blood ran as he cried  
No money could save him  
So he laid down and he died

Ooh, what a lucky man he was

Pull me out of the lake  
'Cause I’m your superhero

Where’s my angel fallin’?  
Down to the river bottom.

And is she down there to stay?

Where’s my Blackfoot blossom?  
Is she just playing possum,  
To live another day?

Now she’s known as Catfish Kate.

You had too many 'da’s there …  
And secondly, it’s ‘na’, not ‘da’, as shown in the following graphic:

You and me go fishin’ in the dark  
Lyin’ on our backs and countin’ the stars  
Where the cool grass grows

Just kicking down the cobblestones  
Looking for fun and feeling groovy  
Ba da-da da-da da-da, feeling groovy

Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone  
And this house just ain’t no home

Loneliness is a cloak you wear  
A deep shade of blue is always there  
The sun ain’t gonna shine anymore  
The moon ain’t gonna rise in the sky  
The tears are always cloudin’ your eyes  
When you’re without love, baby

Burn on, big river, burn on

Sometimes you need somebody, if you have somebody to love  
Sometimes you ain’t got nobody and you want somebody to love  
Then you don’t want to walk and talk about Jesus

You just want to see His face  
You don’t want to walk and talk about Jesus  
You just want to see His face

The Father, Son and Holy Ghost  
All caught the last train for the coast  
The day the music died
