Just Around The Corner
Ted Lewis And His Orchestra Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Beautiful miracle, pardon my lyrical rhapsody,
But can't you see, you've captured me.
Being so glamorous, can't you be amorous just with me?
Make it soon, take a look at the moon.

Love is just around the corner, any cozy little corner.
Love is just around the corner when I'm around you.
I'm a sentimental mourner, and I couldn't be forlorner,

When you keep me in a corner just waiting for you.
Venus de Milo was noted for her charms,
But strictly between us, you're cuter than Venus,
And what's more you got arms.

So cuddle in a corner, any cozy corner,
Love is just around the corner and I'm around you.

Wonderful...there’ll never be another Ted Lewis...he was the “Everyman” of show business...apparently a very good and kind man as well, and one of a small handful of artists that kept Columbia records going during the Great Depression. His style of “story-singing” still places him stage dead center in the spotlight of memory. What a tremendous talent he was.
