Charlie Parker Night And Day
Pride, sad, splendid liar
Sworn enemy of love
Kept my lips from saying
Pride, sad, splendid liar
Sworn enemy of love
Kept my lips from saying
Things I was thinking of
But now my pride you've humbled
I've cast it to the winds
Broken, beaten, sick at heart
My confession begins
We've played the game of stay away
But it cost more that I can pay
Without you I can't make my way
I surrender, dear
I may seem proud, I may act gay
It's just a pose, I'm not that way
'Cause deep down in my heart I say
I surrender, dear
Little mean things we were doing
Must have been part of the game
Lending a spice to the wooing
But I don't care who's to blame
When stars appear and shadows fall
Why then you'll hear My poor heart call
To you my love, my life, my all
I surrender, dear
We've played the game of stay away
But it cost more that I can pay
Without you I can't make my way
I surrender, dear
I may seem proud, I may act gay
It's just a pose, I'm not that way
'Cause deep down in my heart I say
I surrender, dear
Little mean things we were doing
Must have been part of the game
Lending a spice to the wooing
But I don't care who's to blame
When stars appear And shadows fall
Why then you'll hear My poor heart call
To you my love, my life, my all
