I'm Walkin'
Yearning Echoes: Rediscovering Love's Path in Count Basie's 'I'm Walkin'
Lyrics
I'm walkin', yes indeed, and I'm talkin' 'bout you and me
I am moving forward, indeed, and discussing matters concerning you and me.
I'm hopin' that you'll come back to me (yes)
I am hopeful that you will return to me (yes).
I'm lonely as I can be, I'm waitin' for your company
I am experiencing loneliness to the fullest, eagerly awaiting your companionship.
I'm hopin' that you'll come back to me
I am still optimistic that you'll come back to me.
What 'ya gonna do when the well runs dry?
What will you do when resources are exhausted?
You're gonna run away and hide
You will likely flee and conceal yourself.
I'm gonna run right by your side, for you pretty baby I'll even die
I will run alongside you, and for you, my dear, I am willing to make the ultimate sacrifice.
I'm walkin', yes indeed, I'm talkin' 'bout you and me
I am walking, indeed, and talking about the relationship between you and me.
I'm hopin' that you'll come back to me
I am hopeful for your return to me.
I'm walkin', yes indeed, and I'm talkin' 'bout you and me
I am walking, indeed, and talking about you and me.
I'm hopin' that you'll come back to me (yes)
I am still hopeful that you will come back to me (yes).
I'm lonely as I can be, I'm waitin' for your company
I am lonely to the maximum extent, patiently waiting for your company.
I'm hopin' that you'll come back to me
I am maintaining hope that you'll return to me.
What 'ya gonna do when the well runs dry?
What will you do when the source of sustenance runs out?
You're gonna sit right down and cry
You will sit down and cry.
What 'ya gonna do when I say "bye-bye"?
What will you do when I bid farewell?
All you're gonna do is dry your eye
All you will do is dry your eyes.
I'm walkin', yes indeed, I'm talkin' 'bout you and me
I am walking, indeed, and talking about you and me.
