Blossom Dearie - Diva (2004) by Blossom Dearie (보컬) on maniadb.com

Pretending that we'll meet
Each time I turn a corner
I walk a little faster

Pretending life is sweet
'Cause love is around the corner
I walk a little faster

Can't begin to see my future shine as yet
No sign as yet, you're mine as yet
Rushing toward a face I can't divine as yet
Keep bumping into walls and taking lots of falls

But even though I meet
At each and every corner
With nothing but disaster

I set my chin a little higher, hope a little longer
Build a little stronger castle in the air
And thinking you'll be there
I walk a little faster

Can't begin to see my future shine as yet
No sign as yet, you're mine as yet
Rushing toward a face I can't divine as yet
Keep bumping into walls and taking lots of falls

But even though I meet
At each and every corner
With nothing but disaster

I set my chin a little higher, hope a little longer
Build a little stronger castle in the air
And thinking you'll be there
I walk a little faster

Copper comes from Arizona

Peaches come from Georgia

And lobsters come from Maine

The wheat fields are the sweet fields of Nebraska

And Kansas gets bonanzas from the grain



Old whiskey comes from old Kentucky

Ain't the country lucky

New Jersey gives us glue

And you, you come from Rhode Island

and little old Rhode Island is famous for you



Cotton comes from Lou-siana

Gophers from Montana

And spuds from Idaho

They plow land in the cow land of Missour-a

Where most beef meant for roast beef seems to grow



Grand canyons come from Colorad-a

Gold comes from Nevada

Divorces also do

And you, you come from Rhode Island

Little old Rhode Island is famous for you



Pencils come from Pennsylvania

Vest from Vest Virginia

and Tents from Tent-esee

They know mink where they grow mink in Wyo-mink

A camp chair in New Hamp-chair, that's for me



And minnows come Minnesota

Coats come from Dakota

But why should you be blue?

For you, you come from Rhode Island

Don't let them ride Rhode Island

It's famous for you

When I was young I lived in a world of dreams

Of moods and myths and illusionary schemes

Though now I'm much more grown up

I fear that I must own up

To the fact that I'm in doubt of

What the modern cynics shout of



They say it's spring

This feeling light as a feather

They say this thing,

This magic we share together

came with the weather too



They say it's May

that's made me daft as a daisy

It's May, they say

that gave the whole world this crazy,

heavenly, hazy hue



I'm a lark

On the wing

I'm the spark of a firefly's fling



Yet to me

This must be

Something more than a seasonal thing



Could it be spring

Those bells that I can hear ringing

It may be spring

But when the robins stop singing

You're what I'm clinging to

Though they say it's spring

It's you



If poets sing

that when a hard sympathetic

It's merely spring

Then poets plights are pathetic

Though I'm poetic too



They say it's spring

For lovers, there's where the lure is

That evil thing

For which September the cure is

This, they are sure is true



Though I know

that it's so

That my fancy may turn in the spring



With the right

one in sight

One can find a perpetual thing



Did I need spring

To bring the ring that you bought me

Though it was spring

That wondrous day that you caught me



Darling I thought we knew

That it wasn't spring,

'Twas you

I don’t want you
But I`d hate to lose you
You’ve got me in between
The devil and the deep blue sea

I forgive you
But I can’t forget you
You’ve got me in between
The devil and the deep blue sea

I ought to cross you off my list
But when you come a-knocking at my door
Fate seems to give my heart a twist
And I come running back for more

I should hate you
But I guess I love you
You’ve got me in between
The devil and the deep blue sea

Once upon a summertime, if you recall

We stopped beside a little flower stall

A bunch of bright forget-me-nots

Was all I'd ever let you buy me



Once upon a summertime just like today

We laughed the happy afternoon away

And stole a kiss at every street cafe



You were sweeter than the blossoms on the tree

I was as proud as any girl could be

As if the mayor had offered me the key

to Paris



Now another winter time has come and gone

The pigeons feeding in the square have flown

But I remember when the vespers chimed

You loved me once upon a summertime



Now another winter time has come and gone

The pigeons feeding in the square have flown

But I remember when the vespers chimed

You loved me once upon a summertime
