What's it all about Alfie
Is it just for the moment we live
What's it all about
When you sort it out, Alfie
Are we meant to take more than we give
Or are we meant to be kind?
And if, if only fools are kind, Alfie
Then I guess it is wise to be cruel
And if life belongs only to the strong, Alfie
What will you lend on an old golden rule?
As sure as I believe there's a heaven above
Alfie, I know there's something much more
Something even non-believers can believe in
I believe in love, Alfie
Without true love we just exist, Alfie
Until you find the love you've missed
You're nothing, Alfie
When you walk let your heart lead the way
And you'll find love any day Alfie, Alfie

love how you got the minor to major change pre-chorus 👏

This chick needs a wig, and she should lose the nose ring. And btw the old Dionne Warwick original tops this by far.

Wow 👍

Cynthia is a great singer but no one can sing Alfie like Dionne ❤

My son was born 2nd August this year and I named him Alfie… since then I found this song here and watch it on repeat with tears in my eyes

WOW😢
Spectacular Performance.

Best ever along with Marvin Gaye's rendition ❤

What an interesting dress. Gorgeous color, gorgeous voice.

Chills, literal chills

Wow, love it to bits, just love the vocal gifts that he brings, i cannot wait to hear more. Way to the soul is through music, and this man just catches my soul. What a gift. I thank you x

The tone quality and interpretation. so great. Bravo!

I felt like I was watching a new version of Cinderella. Similar to the one with Brandy.

WOW! I am in love, this is what it feels like...

Is. I don’t remember from the original. Sorry they cut the song in half.

Bravo❣️

How she sings with her eyes is just phenomenal

I didn’t know the word to this song when I watched the documentary. She sang every word with her to me. ❤

I love Cynthia

This girls voice. Gorgeous! I can't wait to see her in "Wicked."

I love her voice so much

I loved all of musical Cynthia's interpretations

Insane

Very Rachelle Ferrell influenced
Which is a feet even being compared. This young lady is amazing! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Cynthia deserves life time respect and flowers for what she did

♡♡♡♡

Magnificent 🤎💙

이걸 한번만 들은 사람은 절대 없다

This feeling listening to her I'm feeling is the feeling I get everytime I watch the 5th Element and the blue alien sings the house down. This woman is not of this world. She is spectacular

litterally goosebumps

Wow 😮❤❤❤

I always come back to this cover. its so beautiful 🤩

Bring back real artist!!!
💙🩵🤍

That was absolutely fabulous ❤

Overrated… Jessye Norman was a far more versatile vocalist in my opinion

Her voice is heavenly-I’ve listened to this so many times ❤❤❤

I hate how they showed the backup singers when she was belting
