Sammy Davis Jr. - Les chansons en or (2009) by Sammy Davis Jr. (보컬) on maniadb.com

Oh,... they say my people long ago.
Where lookin' for a different tune.
One that we can croon
As only we can.
We only had the rhythm.
So, we started swingin' to and fro.
We didn't know just what to use.
But this is how the blues.
I said the blues really began.
Ohhh yeah.

We..heard... the breeze.
Through the trees.
Singing weird melodies.
And we named that the start of the blues.

Then from a jail.
There came a whale.
From a down-hearted frail.
And we played that.
To be a part of our blues.

From a whippoorwill
High on a hill.
They took a new note.
Pushed it through a horn.
Till it was worn into a blue note.

You better believed me we nursed it.
And we rehearsed it.
Than we gave out the news.
That the South Land, gave birth to the Blues.

I know too well that I'm just wasting precious time
In thinking such a thing could be
That you could ever care for me
I'm sure you hate to hear

That I adore you, dear
But grant me
Just the same
I'm not entirely to blame

For love
You'd be so easy to love
So easy to idolize
All others above

So worth the yearning for
So swell to keep every homefire burning for
We'd be so grand at the game
So carefree together

That it does seem a shame
That you can't see
Your future with me
'Cause you'd be oh, so easy to love

Hey there
You with the stars in your eyes.
Love never made a fool of you.
You used to be too wise.

Hey there
You on that high flying cloud.
Though she won't throw a crumb to you
You think someday she'll come to you
Better forget her.

Her with her nose in the air.
She has you dancing on a string.
Break it and she won't care.
Won't you take this advise I hand you like a brother.
Or are you not seeing things to clear.
Are you too much in love to hear.
Is it all going in one ear and out the other.

You know the feeling of something half remembered
Of something that never happened, yet you recall it well.
You know the feeling of recognizing someone
That you've never met as far as you could tell, well.

Laura is the face in the misty light,
Footsteps that you hear down the hall.
The laugh that floats on a summer night
That you can never quite recall.
And you see Laura on the train that is passing thru.
Those eyes, how familiar they seem.
She gave your very first kiss to you.
That was Laura but she's only a dream.

Love me or leave me.
Or let me be lonely.
You wont believe me.
But I love you only.
I'd rather be lonely, then happy with somebody else.

You might find the night time.
The right time for kissing.
But night time is my time.
For just reminiscing.
Regretting instead of forgetting with somebody else.

Now there be no one unless that someone is,
You, You, You.
I intend to be independently.
Blue, Blue, Blue.

I want your love.
But I don't want to borrow.
Have it today.
Give back tomorrow.
More love, for my love, its your love or nobody else.

Now there be no one unless that someone is,
You, You, You.
'Cause I intend to be independently.
Blue, Blue, Blue.

Baby I want your love.
But I don't want to borrow.
Have it today.
Give back tomorrow.
Its your love for my love there’s no love for nobody else

So love me.
Oh leave me alone

Somethings gotta give,
Somethings gotta give
somethings gotta give

When an irresistible force such as you
Meets and old immovable object like me
You can bet as sure as you live
Something's gotta give, something's gotta give,
Something's gotta give.

When an irrepressible smile such as yours
Warms an old implacable heart such as mine
Don't say no because I insist.
Somewhere, somehow,
Someone's gonna be kissed.

So en garde who knows what the fates have in store
From their vast mysterious sky?
I'll try hard ignoring those lips I adore
But how long can anyone try?

Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight it with all of our might,
Chances are some heavenly star spangled night
We'll find out as sure as we live
Something's gotta give, something's gotta give,
Something's gotta give.

Fight, fight, fight it with all of our might,
Chances are some heavenly star spangled night
We'll find out as sure as we live
Something's gotta give, something's gotta give,
Something's gotta give.
Something's gotta , something's gotta give

That old black magic has me in its spell
That old black magic that you weave so well
Icy fingers up and down my spine
The same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine
The same old tingle that I feel inside
When that elevator starts its ride
Down and down I go, round and round I go
Like a leaf that's caught in the tide
I should stay away but what can I do
I hear your name, and I'm aflame
Aflame with such a burning desire
That only your kiss can put out the fire
You are the lover that I've waited for
The mate that fate had me created for
And every time your lips meet mine
Baby down and down I go, all around I go
In a spin, loving the spin that I'm in
Under that old black magic called love
