Until the Real Thing Comes Alo
Charlie Parker & Billie Holiday Lyrics


I'd wait for you
I'd slave for you
I'd be a beggar or a knave for you
If that isn't love, it will have to do
Until the real thing comes along

I'd gladly move
The earth for you
To prove my love, dear
And its worth for you
If that isn't love, it will have to do
Until the real thing comes along.

With all the words, dear, at my command
I just can't make you understand
I'll always love you darling
Come what may
My heart is yours
What more can I say?

I'd lie for you
I'd sigh for you
I'd tear the stars down from the sky for you
If that isn't love, it will have to do
Until the real thing comes along

With all the words, dear, at my command
I just can't make you understand
I'll always love you baby
Come what may
My heart is yours
What more can I say?

I'd lie for you
I'd cry for you
I'd lay my body down and die tor you
If that isn't love, it will have to do
Until the real thing comes along

You have great storytelling ability. You set a mood and frame the scene with an ephemeral soundtrack that punctuates the narrative. Excellent execution. Keep up the good work.

There’s a picture in there with Bird, Diz, and Miles. It looks like AI pasted a later photo of Miles onto it. It looks like Miles from the late 1950s. Not to mention the Harmon mute in his bell.
