Fires Lyrics


Baby, darling, doll face, honey
Now I don't mean to cause you worry
It's only hands in my pocket
And the queen on my money
Did you know I've been wanting you?
So leave your locks on the latches
If you bring the water
I'll bring the matches
'Cause we are fires in the night
We are fires in the night
Let us bathe you in our heart
'Cause we are fires in the night
Come on get up Romeo
Don't you know what the time is?
It's the fall of rock 'n' roll
That's what the news said
Did you know I've been wanting you?
So leave your locks on the latches

If you bring the water, I'll bring the matches
'Cause we are fires in the night
We are fires in the night
Let us bathe you in our heart
'Cause we are fires in the night
We are fires in the night
We are fires in the night
Let us bathe you in our life
We are fires in the night

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Shelly Manne made a countless number of records from the 1940s into the '80s but is best-known as a good-humored bandleader who never hogged the spotlight. Originally a saxophonist, Manne switched to drums when he was 18 and started working almost immediately. He was with Joe Marsala's band (making his recording debut in 1941), played briefly in the big bands of Will Bradley, Raymond Scott, and Les Brown and was on drums for Coleman Hawkins's classic "The Man I Love" session of late 1943.
