Lover Come Back to Me - Dizzy Gillespie

A couple of years later, I left the lower Westside And went uptown to a swankier nightclub called Basin Street East Benny Goodman was the headline there I was his ah... opening act In fact, on this next song, Benny joined me on stage to play his clarinet And was the first time I got to perform with a live orchestra and lots of brass Sky was blue and high above (hello) The moon was new, so was love This eager heart of mine was singing Lover, where can you be? It came at last love had its day The day is past, 'cause you've gone away This eager heart of mine is singing Lover, come back to me Well, I remember every little thing we used to do Oh my, oh my I'm lonely Every road I walked alone I walked along with you No wonder I am lonely The sky is blue, the night is cold The moon is new, but love is old And while I'm waiting here This heart of mine is singing Lover, come to me The sky is blue, the night is cold The moon is new, yet love is old And while I'm standing here This heart of mine is singing Lover, lover, lover, lover Get yourself here to me... Now... Thank you

I've been lying here so lonely I've been wishing you would telephone me Oh, I just can't lose this desperation Won't you bring around a new sensation? Baby, you got lots of energy, yeah Gonna give that energy to me, yeah Tell you, we could have a real good time, yeah Baby, I could make you mine, all mine, yeah Oh, yeah Oh, yeah Lover come back to me You don't have to knock on my door, no Lover come back to me Kick it right down Kick it right down Kick it right down Right down (Huh) (Huh) Baby, all I feel is desperation And it's not a very nice sensation I been wishing you would telephone me I been lying here, oh, oh, so lonely Baby, we could have a real good time, yeah Tell you, I could make you mine, all mine, yeah Baby, you got lots of energy, yeah Baby, give that energy to me, yeah Oh yeah Oh yeah Lover come back to me You don't have to knock on my door, no Lover come back to me Kick it right down Kick it right down Kick it right down Right down Lover come back to me You don't have to knock on my door, no Lover come back to me Kick it right down Kick it right down Kick it right down Right down I hear you knockin' Won't you come on in?

You went away I let you We broke the ties that bind I wanted to forget you And leave the past behind Still, the magic of the night I met you Seems to stay forever in my mind The sky was blue And high above The moon was new And so was love This eager heart of mine was singing Lover where can you be You came at last Love had its day That day is past You've gone away This aching heart of mine is singing Lover come back to me When I remember every little thing You used to do I'm so lonely Every road I walk along I walk along with you No wonder I am lonely The sky is blue The night is cold The moon is new But love is old And while I'm waiting here This heart of mine is singing Lover come back to me When I remember every little thing You used to do I grow lonely Every road I walk along I walk along with you No wonder I am lonely The sky is blue The night is cold The moon is new But love is old And while I'm waiting here This heart of mine is singing Lover come back to me
