Charm Lyrics


You can't be anything but honest
'Cause there's magic in your head
There's no forgiveness in the air
'Cause it's warmer in your bedSo what's it like to live inside
A world you'll never really share
What's it like to live inside
A world that doesn't really careLying awake in the dead of the night
Seeing my life and it's not looking bright
I'm freezing to death in the warmth of your arms
I'm wasting my charmsA man indeed who could not bleed
Except with ink and blood and bone
He couldn't find a way to speak
Of life and death he stood aloneHis every waking moment cried
Enough to make him feel too much
He couldn't face the truth and lied
Recoiled from his lover's touchLying awake in the dead of the night
Seeing my life and it's not looking bright
I'm freezing to death in the warmth of your arms

I'm wasting my charmsIt's my choice to save my life
It's my choice to throw the dice
It's my choiceLying awake in the dead of the night
Seeing my life and it's not looking bright
I'm freezing to death in the warmth of your arms
I'm wasting my charms

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Mabel Mercer (3 February 1900 – 20 April 1984) was an English-born cabaret singer who performed in the United States, Britain, and Europe with the greats in jazz and cabaret. She was a featured performer at Chez Bricktop in Paris, owned by the legendary hostess Bricktop, and performed in such clubs as Le Ruban Bleu, Tony's, the RSVP, the Carlyle, the St. Regis Hotel, and eventually her own room, the Byline Club. Among those who frequently attended Mercer's shows was Frank Sinatra, who made no secret of his emulating her phrasing and story-telling techniques.
