Porgy
Auld-Hawkins-Webster Saxtet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm gonna get myself a boat and I call it Nadine
Live by the sea
Smell how I smell
And if you come to visit baby, I won't tell
All my days will find their natural rhythm
All my friends will be the men without womenI'll go back to bed if the glass has fallen
I can't say if I'll hear you when I hear you call
I'll have all the time in the world, yes, I will baby
All the time in the world, oh, no, no
All the time in the world to dream about you
Have me a smokey on a Sunday morning
Sleep on the moor without any warning
I might make a pass at the weirdo next door
I hear she's been married seven times before
If I want to go I won't have to stay
I drink on the bench in the middle of the day
Everyone's birthdays, well, I'll just forget them
All my things will be right where I left them
I'll have all the time in the world, yes, I will babe
All the time in the world, oh, no, no
All the time in the world
You know I'll have all the time in the world, yeah
And all the time in the world
Yes, I'll have all the time in the world to dream about you
