[Verse 1]
Oh, little baby
You know I have been away
Oh, little baby
You know I will come today
Do not you know that

[Chorus]
Everything is alright
(everything is alright)
Everything is alright[x2]
(everything is alright, babe)

[Bridge]
Let me hold your hand and be your loving man (all night)[x2]
Let me hold your hand and be your loving man (all night, alright!)

[Verse 2]
Oh, little baby
You know I feel so good
Oh, little baby
I never knew I could
And do not you know that

[Chorus]
Everything is alright
(everything is alright, babe)
Everything is alright[x2]
(everything is alright, babe)
Let me give you loving like nobody can
(all night) [x2]
Let me give you loving like nobody can
(all night, alright!)

[Bridge]
Let me hold your hand and be your loving man
No, no, no, no, no, that's a-loving you
(Must have been you
I am going to all night loving you)
No, no, no, no, no
I will be good for you

[Chorus]
Everything is alright
(everything is alright, babe)
Everything is alright[x2]
(everything is alright, babe)
Let me give you loving like nobody can
(all night) [x2]
Let me give you loving like nobody can
(all night, alright!)

Everything is alright[x2]
Oh

David Bowie (1947 – 2016) was a British musician, and one of the most iconic rock stars with a widely diverse career where he frequently changed his appearance and musical style, resulting in an acclaimed discography comparable to other stalwarts such as The Beatles and Bob Dylan. Born David Robert Jones, Bowie quickly renamed himself to prevent confusion with The Monkees singer Davy Jones. Enduring many early missteps, he rose to prominence when his most famous song, “Space Oddity,” was played during the coverage of the Apollo 11 moon landing.

Despite this early breakthrough, Bowie remained a cult figure for several years. Even the release of Hunky Dory, his first great album, went largely unnoticed. Bowie only lodged himself firmly in the public consciousness when he announced his bisexuality and created Ziggy Stardust in early 1972. A Martian who combined the debauchery of Iggy Pop with the artistry of Lou Reed, Ziggy was the main character in Bowie’s breakthrough album, and his public persona for eighteen months.

Bowie used his new-found popularity to move to America, and dabble with new musical directions and cocaine. Diamond Dogs and Young Americans continue to divide critics, but Station To Station found Bowie at a new creative peak, despite escalating drug use and related health issues.
