[00:00.00]Lush Life - Johnny Hartman
[00:04.40]I used to visit all the very gay places
[00:07.20]
[00:08.80]Those come-what-may places
[00:10.26]
[00:12.27]Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life
[00:15.81]
[00:17.56]To get the feel of life from jazz and cocktails
[00:22.82]
[00:25.83]The girls i knew had sad and sullen gray faces
[00:29.10]
[00:30.84]With distingue traces that used to be there
[00:35.15]You could see where they'd been washed away
[00:37.42]
[00:38.52]By too many through the day twelve o'clock tales
[00:44.92]
[00:48.13]Then you came along with your siren song
[00:51.80]
[00:53.14]To tempt me to madness
[00:54.78]
[00:56.95]I thought for awhile that your poignant smile
[01:00.61]
[01:02.17]Was tinged with the sadness of a great love for me
[01:08.45]
[01:11.18]Ah yes i was wrong
[01:16.10]
[01:19.42]Again i was wrong
[01:26.71]
[01:31.07]Life is lonely again and only last year
[01:39.30]
[01:41.65]Everything seemed so sure
[01:44.14]
[01:48.32]Now life is awful again
[01:52.89]
[01:54.26]A trough full of hearts could only be a bore
[02:01.64]
[02:05.05]A week in paris could ease the bite of it
[02:11.57]
[02:14.04]All i care is to smile in spite of it
[02:20.43]
[02:22.41]I'll forget you i will while yet you are still
[02:30.34]
[02:32.34]Burning inside my brain romance is mush
[02:40.24]
[02:41.64]Stifling those who strive
[02:45.42]
[02:46.75]I'll live a lush life in some small dive
[02:53.29]
[02:53.83]And there i'll be
[02:57.02]
[02:57.77]While i rot with the rest of those
[03:02.67]Whose lives are lonely too
[03:08.27]
[04:23.66]Oh my is my
[04:30.12]
[04:32.34]Stifling those who strive
[04:35.18]
[04:37.66]I'll live a lush life in some small dive
[04:50.16]And there i'll be
[04:54.43]
[04:55.38]While i rot with the rest of those
[05:01.18]Whose lives are lonely too
