My heart is sad and lonely!
For you I sigh, for you dear only.
Why haven’t you seen it?
I’m all for you, Body and Soul.
I spend my days in longing,
And wondering why it’s me you’re wronging.
I tell you, I mean it,
I’m all for you, Body and Soul!
I can’t believe it,
Its hard to conceive it That you’d turn away romance.
Are you pretending?
It looks like the ending!--
Unless, I can have
One more chance to prove dear.
My life a wreck you’re making!
You know I’m yours
For just the taking
I’d gladly surrender
Myself to you, Body and Soul!
I keep returning to this Carmen McRae performance over and over again countless times. PRICELESS & PRECIOUS & POWERFUL!!! April 8th 2019 will mark her 99th birthday. <3
probably the best rendition of a ballad i have heard... this could of been just vocals and bass. Buster williams lines on this date with carmen is sublime, they fit like a glove, like a moment in time...MAGIC!!!!MAGIC!!!MAGIC!!! Missin you CARMEN my sweet!!!!
