Andrew Lloyd Webber & Tim Rice Everything's Alright lyrics

Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to
Problems that upset you, oh
Don't you know everything's alright? Yes, everything's fine
And we want you to sleep well tonight
Let the world turn without you tonight
If we try we'll get by, so forget all about us tonight

Everything's alright, yes
Everything's alright, yes

Sleep and I shall soothe you, calm you and anoint you
Myrrh for your hot forehead, oh
Then you'll feel everything's alright, yes, everything's fine
And it's cool and the ointment's sweet
For the fire in your head and feet
Close your eyes, close your eyes and relax
Think of nothing tonight

Everything's alright, yes
Everything's alright, yes

Woman, your fine ointment, brand new and expensive
Could have been saved for the poor
From what has been wasted, we could have raised maybe
Three hundred silver pieces or more
People who are hungry, people who are starving
They matter more than your feet and hair

Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to
Problems that upset you, oh
Don't you know everything's alright? Yes, everything's fine

And we want you to sleep well tonight
Let the world turn without you tonight
If we try we'll get by, so forget all about us tonight

Everything's alright, yes
Everything's alright, yes

Surely, you're not saying we have the resources
To save the poor from their lot
There will be poor always, pathetically struggling
Look at the good things you've got
Think, while you still have me
Move, while you still see me
You'll be lost, you'll be so sorry when I'm gone

Sleep and I shall soothe you, calm you and anoint you
Myrrh for your hot forehead, oh
Then you'll feel everything's alright, yes, everything's fine
And it's cool and the ointment's sweet
For the fire in your head and feet
Close your eyes, close your eyes and relax
Think of nothing tonight

Close your eyes, close your eyes and relax
Close your eyes, close your eyes and relax
Close your eyes, close your eyes and relax
