Golden Slumbers / Carry That Weight by Jennifer Hudson Lyrics
[Chorus 1]
Once there was a way, to get back homeward
Once there was a way, to get back home
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby
[Verse 1]
Golden slumbers fill your eyes
Smiles awake you when you rise
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby
[Chorus]
Once there was a way, to get back homeward
Once there was a way, to get back home
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby
[Bridge]
(Boy you're gonna carry that weight) Oh...
(Carry that weight for a long time) Oh...
(Boy you're gonna carry that weight) Boy you're gonna carry that weight
(Carry that weight for a long time) Carry that weight for a long time
[Verse 2]
I never give you my pillow
I only send you my invitations
And in the middle of the celebrations
I break, I break, I break down
[Bridge]
(Boy you're gonna carry that weight) Oh boy... you're gonna carry
I'm gonna carry that weight
(Carry that weight for a long time) Carry that weight... a long time
(Boy you're gonna carry that weight) Boy...
(Boy you're gonna carry that weight) Carry that weight
Carry that weight for a long time
[Chorus]
Once there was a way, to get back homeward
Once there was a way, to get back home
And I will sing a lullaby
Once there was a way, to get back homeward
Once there was a way, to get back home
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby
[Verse 1]
Golden slumbers fill your eyes
Smiles awake you when you rise
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby
[Chorus]
Once there was a way, to get back homeward
Once there was a way, to get back home
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby
[Bridge]
(Boy you're gonna carry that weight) Oh...
(Carry that weight for a long time) Oh...
(Boy you're gonna carry that weight) Boy you're gonna carry that weight
(Carry that weight for a long time) Carry that weight for a long time
[Verse 2]
I never give you my pillow
I only send you my invitations
And in the middle of the celebrations
I break, I break, I break down
[Bridge]
(Boy you're gonna carry that weight) Oh boy... you're gonna carry
I'm gonna carry that weight
(Carry that weight for a long time) Carry that weight... a long time
(Boy you're gonna carry that weight) Boy...
(Boy you're gonna carry that weight) Carry that weight
Carry that weight for a long time
[Chorus]
Once there was a way, to get back homeward
Once there was a way, to get back home
And I will sing a lullaby
