Lover, Come Back to Me

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
