Come Live With Me Lyrics


I was thirty-seven
You were seventeen
You were half my age
The youth I'd never seenUnlikely people meeting in a dream
Heaven only knows
The way it should have beenHere today, my tomorrow
Where you lead I will follow
All that kissing
No passion missingCome live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye
Come live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye
Come live with meDinner parties followed
And all my age implies
My friends began to talk
I began to realizeIf half the things they say
Are quarter true of me
Then how can I eclipse the youth?

You gave to set me freeThere was something in your smile
That was hard to reconcile
The time had come to testify to reasonThough years will not erase
Remembrance of those days
At least there's
No submission to hearts treasonHere today, my tomorrow
No more shame, only sorrow
All that kissing
There's something missingCome live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye
Come live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye
Come live with meNow there's nothing left to cry for
And there's nowhere left to go
Just another hopeless fight
But how were we to know?The strong are sometimes wrong
But the weak are never free
The choice we made, we can't evade
Don't try to follow meHere today, my tomorrow
No more pain only sorrow
All that kissing
There's something missingCome live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye
Come live with me
Kiss the boys goodbyeCome live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye
Come live with me
Kiss the boys goodbyeCome live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye
Come live with me
Kiss the boys goodbyeCome live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye
Come live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye
Come live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye

There have been very few jazz harpists in history and Dorothy Ashby (1932 – 1986) was one of the greats. Somehow she was able to play credible bebop on her instrument. As a pianist she studied at Wayne State University, and in 1952 she switched to harp. Within two years, Ashby was gigging in jazz, and in 1956 she made her first recording as a leader. Between 1956-1970, she led ten albums for such labels as Savoy, Prestige, New Jazz, Argo, Jazzland, Atlantic, and Cadet, guested on many records, and was firmly established as a top studio and session player.
