Lover Come Back To Me
Longing Echoes: Bud Powell's Melodic Yearning
Lyrics
You went away
You left
I let you
I allowed it
We broke the ties that bind
We ended the emotional connections
I wanted to forget you
I wished to erase you from my thoughts
And leave the past behind
Trying to move on from the past
Still, the magic of the night I met you
The enchantment of our first meeting persists
Seems to stay forever in my mind
Memories linger vividly in my thoughts
The sky was blue
The atmosphere was serene
And high above
High in the sky
The moon was new
A new moon signifying new love
And so was love
Love was fresh and young
This eager heart of mine was singing
My excited heart sang, asking where you were
Lover where can you be
Longing for your presence
You came at last
You arrived, love had its moment
Love had its day
A fleeting period of love
That day is past
That moment has passed
You've gone away
You departed
This aching heart of mine is singing
My pained heart continues to sing
Lover come back to me
Longing for your return
When I remember every little thing
Recalling every detail
You used to do
Remembering your actions
I'm so lonely
Feeling isolated
Every road I walk along
Every path I take, you accompany me
I walk along with you
Walking through life with your memory
No wonder I am lonely
No wonder I feel lonely
The sky is blue
The sky remains clear
The night is cold
The night is chilly
The moon is new
A new moon, but love is enduring
But love is old
Love is timeless
And while I'm waiting here
While I wait, my heart sings
This heart of mine is singing
Calling for your return
Lover come back to me
When I remember every little thing
Recalling each detail
You used to do
Remembering your actions
I grow lonely
Feeling increasingly isolated
Every road I walk along
Every path I take, you accompany me
I walk along with you
Walking through life with your memory
No wonder I am lonely
No wonder I feel lonely
The sky is blue
The sky remains clear
The night is cold
The night is chilly
The moon is new
A new moon, but love is enduring
But love is old
Love is timeless
And while I'm waiting here
While I wait, my heart sings
This heart of mine is singing
Calling for your return
Lover come back to me
