As I quickly look but mind drift away
But when in my lovers arms I fall
I ask that you will take no more
For these are the hours I've been waiting for so please,
My sweet hours be kind
Hours, won't you smile on me today
(early on my beauty hold my gaze) (

Hours, please be kind to be today
Time, I implore you to move gently and favorably during this moment.
As I quickly look but mind drift away
Though I may glance quickly at my surroundings, my thoughts wander elsewhere, lost in reverie.
But when in my lovers arms I fall
Yet, when I find myself enveloped in the embrace of my beloved,
I ask that you will take no more
I plead that you will not seize any more precious moments away from me.
For these are the hours I've been waiting for so please,
Because these are the cherished moments I've longed for; I earnestly request,
My sweet hours be kind
Time, my gentle companion, I beseech you to be gracious and indulgent.
Hours, won't you smile on me today
Time, will you not bring me joy and warmth in this day of mine?
(early on my beauty hold my gaze)
In those early moments, my love, your beauty captures my full attention.

Hours, please be kind to me today
Pass by quickly let my mind drift away
but when in my lovers arms I fall
I ask that you will tick no more
for these are the hours I've been waiting for so please,
my sweet hours be kind
Hours, won't you smile on me today
___ Let his beauty hold my gaze
In that moment when I hear him call
I ask that you take a break from it all
for these are the hours I have been longing for
so please my sweet hours be kind
is there something I can give you?
Is there anything just call
you ever loved they way I love?
have you ever loved at all?
Hours, please be kind to me today
skip on through and let my mind drift away
when comes a moment then he knocks on my door
I ask that you will tick no more
'cause this kind of lovin' you just can't ignore
please
my sweet hours be kind
Is there something I can give you?
Is there anything just call..
you ever love the way that I love?
have you ever loved at all?
have you ever, yeah?
Have you ever loved at all?
I don't think you've ever, ever loved at all no no ooh
I don't think you've ever, ever loved at all oh
oh oh sweet sweet hours go a little slower when the lights are getting lowerx3
Hours, won't you smile at me today
Pass by quickly let my mind melt away

Absolutely. In France she’s totally unknown. I discovered her watching CB Strike. She sings at the opening of the serie.

Thanks to Beth´s Mum & Dad I have discovered a rare talent. Love the sultry tones that take me down the path of Nora Jones. All the best from a Bristolian on the Costa Blanca.

It's now 2022. I've had a few drinks & this is the type of music I love to listen to when I'm 'mellow'. I especially love to listen to her version of YOU'VE GOT ME WRAPPED AROUND YOUR LITTLE FINGER. BEAUTIFUL
@infinitemonkey917
She has a natural blues / folk voice.

As perfect as it gets. Thank goodness they cast her in An Education, would not have wanted to miss out on this.
