Chet Baker - But Not For Me

1 commento:

  1. They're writing songs of love, but not for me.
    A lucky star's above, but not for me.
    With love to lead the way
    I've found more clouds of grey
    than any Russain play could guarantee.
    I was a fool to fall and get that way;
    Heigh-ho! Alas! And also, lack-a-day!
    Although I can't dismiss the mem'ry of his kiss,
    I guess he's mot for me.

    He's knocking on a door, but not for me.
    He'll plan a two by four, but not for me.
    I know that love's a game;
    I'm puzzled, just the same,
    was I the moth or flame?
    I'm all at sea.
    It all began so well, but what an end!
    This is the time a feller needs a friend,
    when ev'ry happy plot ends with the marriage knot,
    and there's no knot for me.

    George and Ira Gershwin
