Norah Jones= "I’ll be your baby tonight "
Sarò la tua bambina stanotte. 💕💕
“Chiudi i tuoi occhi, chiudi la porta
non devi più preoccuparti
perché sarò la tua piccola stanotte
Spegni la luce, chiudi la persiana
non devi aver paura
perché sarò la tua piccola stanotte
Staremo bene quella tristezza veleggerà via
la dimenticheremo
quella grande luna grande
brillerà come un cucchiaio
ma noi la lasceremo stare
non te ne pentirai
Togliti le scarpe
e non aver paura
porta qui quella bottiglia
perché sarò la tua piccola stanotte
Staremo Bene,quella tristezza veleggerà via
la dimenticheremo
quella grande luna grande
brillerà come un cucchiaio
ma noi la lasceremo stare
non te ne pentirai
Togliti le scarpe
e non aver paura
porta qui quella bottiglia
perché sarò la tua piccola stanotte
perché sarò la tua piccola stanotte
perché sarò la tua piccola stanotte, stanotte”.🎵🎶🎶

You know that beautiful, bittersweet feeling when you discover something new to you and you suddenly feel like you've been missing out on a wonderful part of life? That just happened to me with Norah Jones' music.

I think Norah Jones belongs in that rare class of singer/songwriters who are also great interpreters of the songs of others. She does what only Willie Nelson, Lyle Lovett, and only a few others can do.
Carmin Du Preez
