Lush Life (feat. Oscar Peterson)

I used to visit all the very gay places

Those come what may places

Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life

To get the feel of life from jazz and cocktailsThe girls I knew had sad and sullen gray faces

With distingue traces that used to be there

You could see where they'd been washed away

By too many through the day twelve o'clock talesThen you came along with your siren song

To tempt me to madness

I thought for awhile that your poignant smile

Was tinged with the sadness of a great love for me

Ah yes, I was wrong, again I was wrongLife is lonely again and only last year everything seemed so sure

Now life is awful again a trough full of hearts could only be a bore

A week in Paris could ease the bite of it

All I care is to smile in spite of it
