Nightingale - Oscar Peterson Trio

Nightingale Lyrics

I can't sleep tonight, wide awake and so confused,
Everything's in line, but I am bruised.
I need a voice to echo, I need a light to take me home,
I kinda need a hero, is it you?
I never see the forest or the trees,
I could really use your melody,
Baby I'm a little blind, I think it's time, for you to find me,
Can you be my nightingale,
Sing to me I know you're there,
You could be, my sanity,
Bring the keys, send me to sleep,
Say you'll be my nightingale,
Somebody speak to me,
'Cause I'm feeling like hell,
Need you to answer me, I'm overwhelmed,
I need a voice to echo, I need a light to take me home,
I need a star to follow, I don't know.

I never see the forest or the trees,
I could really use your melody,
Baby I'm a little blind, I think it's time, for you to find me,
Can you be my nightingale,
Sing to me I know you're there,
You could be, my sanity,
Bring the keys, send me to sleep,
Say you'll be my nightingale,
I don't know what I'd do without you,
Your words are like a whisper come true,
As long as you're with me here tonight, I'm good.
Can you be my nightingale,
Feel so close, I know you're there,
Oh-oh-oh, Nightingale,
Sing to me, I know you're there.
Cause baby you're, my sanity,
You bring me peace, send me to sleep,
Say you'll be my nightingale.
