You Brought a New Kind of Love to Me
Benny Goodman and His Orchestra Lyrics

If the nightingales could sing like you
Your singing voice is so sweet and enchanting that if nightingales could sing like you, they would sound even prettier.

They'd sing much sweeter than they do
Your singing voice is so lovely that it surpasses even the sweetest sounds produced by nightingales.

For you brought a new kind of love to me
Your mere presence and love has had such an impact on me that I feel like I've experienced love in a new and different way.

And if the sandman brought me dreams of you
If I were to dream of you every night, like the arrival of the Sandman, it would make me never want to wake up from my dreams.

I'd want to sleep my whole life through
I would be willing to give up everything else in life just to spend more time dreaming of you and your love.

I know that I'm the slave, you're the queen
I understand that I am like a servant to you, and that you hold a higher position and power over me.

Still you can understand that underneath it all
Despite our different positions, you can still see that we are both human beings with our own unique strengths and weaknesses.

You're a maid and I am only a man
You may be seen as lower than a queen, but you are still a valuable and important person, and I am just a regular man.

I would work and slave the whole day through
I would do whatever it takes to make you happy, even if it means working tirelessly all day long.

If I could hurry home to you
The greatest reward for all of my hard work would be to come home to your love and presence at the end of a long day.

I'm hip that I'm the slave, you're the queen
I am fully aware of our different social positions: you are a person of power and importance, while I am in a subservient role.

Still you might understand that underneath it all
But even though we have different roles in society, I hope you can see that we are both just human beings who are looking for love and companionship.

You're a maid and I am only a man
Although you are seen as having a lower social status, you are still a valuable and important person, while I am just a regular man.

I would work and slave the whole life through
My love and dedication to you is so strong that I would be willing to work and devote myself to you for my entire life.

If I could hurry home to you
The thing that drives me to work so hard is the thought of coming home to you and being with you, the love of my life.

You brought a new kind of love to me
Your love has transformed my life and shown me a different way of experiencing the feeling of love, one that I have never felt before.
