Lush Life - Nat King Cole[00:00:00]
Written by:Billy Strayhorn[00:00:01]
I used to visit all the very gay places[00:00:10]
Those come what may places[00:00:14]
Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life[00:00:16]
To get the feel of life[00:00:20]
From jazz and cocktails[00:00:22]
The girls I knew had sad and sullen gray faces[00:00:30]
With distant gay traces[00:00:34]
That used to be there you could see where they'd[00:00:36]
Been washed away[00:00:38]
By too many through the day[00:00:40]
Twelve o'clock tales[00:00:43]
Then you came along with your siren of song[00:00:51]
To tempt me to madness[00:00:55]
I thought for a while that your poignant smile was[00:00:59]
Tinged with the sadness[00:01:04]
Of a great love for me[00:01:07]
Ah yes I was wrong[00:01:14]
Again I was wrong[00:01:21]
Life is lonely[00:01:31]
Again[00:01:35]
And only last year[00:01:37]
Everything seemed so sure[00:01:40]
Now life is awful again[00:01:46]
A thoughtful of hearts[00:01:51]
Could only be a bore[00:01:55]
A week in Paris[00:02:01]
Will ease the bite of it[00:02:04]
All I care is to smile[00:02:09]
In spite of it[00:02:13]
I'll forget you I will[00:02:18]
While yet you are still[00:02:23]
Burning inside my brain[00:02:26]
Romance is mush[00:02:31]
Stifling those who strive[00:02:35]
I'll live a lush life[00:02:40]
In some small dive[00:02:43]
And there I'll be[00:02:48]
While I rot[00:02:52]
With the rest[00:02:55]
Of those[00:02:58]
Whose lives[00:03:00]
Are lonely too[00:03:03]
