How Could I Settle for Less Lyrics


Mine was a simple story
Never a thought of glory
I did what I did and what I had
I was glad to possesBut you changed my whole direction
And now that I've seen perfection
How could I settle for less?I was the shyest lover
Ready to run for cover
But look at me now
I'm not the same, I aim to impressYou gave me a glance at heaven
And given a change at heaven
How could I settle for less?Could Caesar span Cleopatra's door?
Columbus turn once he saw the shore?I, I don't want fame or treasure
Miracles made to measure
The beautiful things that people
Rate the greatest successI only want you forever
And you and I close together
How could I settle for?
How, how could I settle?

How could I settle for less?Tell me, tell me, tell me
Tell me daddy, how could I settle for less?
I wanna know, I want to know
How could I settle for?

Carmen Mercedes McRae (1920-1994) was a U.S. jazz singer, songwriter, and pianist. McRae was born in Harlem, New York, on the 8th April 1920, and studied piano as a child. As a teenager she came to the attention of Teddy Wilson and his wife, the composer Irene Kitchings Wilson. Through their influence, one of McRae’s early songs, "Dream of Life", was recorded by Wilson’s longtime collaborator Billie Holiday.
