Mr. Freedom And I

(Mark Klingman)

I truly love you
That you must believe
But youÂ ain’tÂ a fool
To let your heart beÂ deceived
You know I mustÂ be leaving
But I shallÂ not cry
Cause I ain’tÂ alone
It’sÂ Mr. Freedom and I

For when I wasÂ hurting
You could notÂ tell me
Where my happiness didÂ lie
I found withÂ Mr. Freedom and I

I canÂ remember
The way you will grieve
When I up and I leftÂ you
In the night like a thief
When you search through the Â valleys
And you lookÂ towards the sky
Please try toÂ remember
It’sÂ Mr. Freedom and I

For when I wasÂ hurting
You could not tell me
Where my happiness didÂ Â lie
I found with Mr. Freedom andÂ …

I truly love you
That I doÂ believe
But I ain’t noÂ fool
Could my head beÂ deceived
When IÂ search through the Â valleys
And IÂ Â lookÂ towards the sky
I will alwaysÂ remember
It’s Mr. Freedom and I

Extra lyrics not on the recording:

I am not angry
Or hung down in shame
But I want you to know
That you’re not to blame
I am not humble
But oh I can try
If you will believe in
Mr. Freedom and I
