Duke Ellington - Everything but you

Tekst :

You left me a horse from Texas,
A house with installments due,
A letter with lots of X-S
Everything but you.

You left me some beans from Boston,
A bicycle built for two,
A memory to get lost in,
Everything but you.

Each day was so gay and so daring,
I loved every breathtaking minute,
for how could I know I was sharing
a kiss without a future in it.

You left me a dream to room with,
A coffee pot from Peru,
A knife and fork to spoon with,
Everything but you.

Everything but you.
You left me everything, everything but you.

  • I let a song go out of my heart
  • Lost in meditation
  • My little brown book
  • Bli-blip
  • In a sentimental mood
  • Rocks in my bed
  • In a mellow tone
  • All too soon
  • Drop me off in harlem
  • Love you Madly
  • Satin doll
  • Prelude to a kiss
  • Sophisticated lady
  • Solitude
  • Losowe utwory

    When doves cry

    Dig if you will the picture
    Of you and I engaged in a kiss
    The sweat of your body covers me
    Can you my darling?
    Can you picture this?

    Dream of you can a courtyard
    An ocean of violets in bloom
    Animals strike curious poses
    They feel the heat
    The heat between me and you

    How can you just leave...

    Magic summer night

    So come on happy people,
    get on the floor.
    Do you feel it´s alright?
    So come on raise your hands up.
    Hands in the air.
    Magic summer night.

    Shakalakaboom!

    School is out,
    that´s all what we need.
    Stars are...

    Vierge de la mer toi qui me tends les bras
    Sainte au voile d or je crois encore en toi
    Toi la vierge noir aux mains ganté de lumière
    Dis-moi que la mère sera clémente pour moi

    Les femmes du port qui guette le ciel...

    You send me flying

    I don t want to make a habit of this
    But seeing you is like getting a fix
    Every time I kid myself, I ll never do it again
    Definition of love on a cliff
    A lemming has no alternative
    I want to die in...

    Dreams

    Dreams I ve never had before
    Now a part of my mind
    Things I ve never said before
    Now are said by me all the time

    It scares me the things I m feeling now again
    All the things I ve said before are nothing worth anymore

    I...
