Just Like Heaven Lyrics


Show me, show me, show me how you do that trick
One that makes me scream, she said
One that makes me laugh, she said
And threw her arms around my neckAnd show me how you do it
And I promise you
I promise that I'll run away with you
I'll run away with youSpinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed her face and kissed her head
And thought of all the different ways
I had to make her glowOh, why are you so far away?
She said, why won't you ever know
That I'm in love with you
Oh, I'm in love with youYou, soft and only
You, lost and lonely
You, strange as angelsDancing in the deepest ocean
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream
You're just like a dreamDaylight whipped me into shape

I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyesAnd found myself alone, alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of meYou, soft and only
You, lost and lonely
You, just like heaven

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
"You see a show like the one Kat Edmonson put on Tuesday night at Scullers, and you wonder what the heck people are doing at Miley Cyrus and Katy Perry concerts. Really, the world is unjust... Edmonson, a petite singer from Austin, Texas, is at once a throwback and a pioneer. Her intimate vocal style and stage presence recall the heyday of jazz
- she has the expressiveness of Billie Holiday, the elegance of Ella Fitzgerald, and the voice of Blossom Dearie. Yet she doesn't merely retread standards. Sure, she likes her Cole Porter, but she and her pianist/arranger, Kevin Lovejoy, molded and modernized chestnuts like "Just One of Those Things," "Night and Day," and "It's All Right With Me" into entirely fresh tunes with new harmonies, inventive rhythm structures, and sometimes mysterious undertones.

Edmonson has grown quite comfortable inside these songs, taking even more liberties with them than she did on her recent CD, Take to the Sky, which stands among the best records of 2009. Like Holiday, Edmonson likes to sing just behind the beat, which infuses her demure voice with drama and heartbreak.
