Autumn in Rome
Peggy Lee Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Autumn in Rome
My heart remembers fountains where children played
Gardens where dreams were made

Autumn in Rome
Memories like embers glow
When I seem to hear walks beneath the pines that grace the golden sky
Stopping now and then to share a lover's sigh, you and I

Let winter come
All my Decembers I'll spend just dreaming of the way we fell in love
One lovely Autumn in Rome

Walks beneath the pines that grace the golden sky
Stopping now and then to share a lover's sigh, you and I
Let winter come





All my Decembers I spend just dreaming of the way we fell in love
One lovely Autumn in Rome

Why Don't You Do Right - Casey Abrams - Lyrics
You had plenty money 1922
You let other women make a fool of you
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?

Get out of here and get me some money too?
You're sitting there wondering what it's all about
You ain't got no money, they will throw you out
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
Get out of here and get me some money too?

Musical Interlude

You had plenty money 1922
You let other women make a fool of you
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
Get out of here and get me some money too?
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
