[Verse 1]
The long and winding road that leads to your door
Will never disappear, I've seen that road before
It always leads me here
Lead me to your door

[Verse 2]
The wild and windy night that the rain washed away
Has left a pool of tears, crying for the day
Why leave me standing here?
Let me know the way

[Bridge]
Many times I've been alone, and many times I've cried
Anyway, you'll never know the many ways I've tried

[Verse 3]
And still they lead me back to thе long and winding road
You left me standing herе a long, long time ago
Don't leave me waiting here
Lead me to your door

[Verse 4]
But still they lead me back to the long and winding road
You left me standing here a long, long time ago
Don't keep me waiting here (Don't keep me waiting)
Lead me to your door

She was one of the most extraordinary artists of the twentieth century, an icon of American music.

Simone occupied a broad range of musical styles including jazz, blues, folk, classical, R&B, gospel and more. Born in North Carolina – the sixth child of a preacher –Eunice Waymon aspired to be a concert pianist. To make a living, she decided to change her name to “Nina Simone” in order to disguise herself from family members, as she played cocktail piano in nightclubs. Until she was told she had to sing her own accompaniment, her jazz vocalist career was effectively launched.

Nina has recorded more than 40 studio albums; she was the recipient of a Grammy Hall of Fame Award in 2000 and has additionally received 15 nominations throughout her career. After nearly 3 decades, she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as part of the 2018 class.
