Hazel Scott Trio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For you I sigh, for you dear only
Why haven't you seen it
I'm all for you body and soul
I spend my days in longing
And wondering why it's me you're wronging
I tell you I mean it
I can't believe it
It's hard to conceive it
That you'd turn away romance
Are you pretending
It looks like the ending
Unless I could have just one more chance to prove, dear
My life a wreck you're making
You know I'm yours for just the taking
I'd gladly surrender myself to you body and soul
My life a wreck you're making
You know I'm yours for the very taking
I'd gladly surrender myself to you body and soul

My heart is sad and lonely
I'm feeling depressed and alone
For you I sigh, for you dear only
I long for you and only you

Why haven't you realized my feelings for you
I'm all for you body and soul
I'm completely devoted to you in every way

I spend my days yearning for you

Are you faking your feelings for me
It looks like the ending
It seems like this is the end for us
Unless I could have just one more chance to prove, dear
Unless you give me one more opportunity to show you my love
My life a wreck you're making
You're ruining my life
You know I'm yours for just the taking
You know that I would give myself completely to you
I'd gladly surrender myself to you body and soul
I would willingly give myself to you in every way possible
