(Verlaine)
|
You have always been so kind to me,
|
Mere gratitude is not enough.
|
But if there's anything that I can do or say,
|
To take that pressure off,
|
You know I'll do it,
|
Or at least I'll try,
|
I'm used to living off-the-cuff.
|
|
Shimmer!,
|
It's a way of life,
|
When no other life is true.
|
Shimmer!,
|
That's the only word,
|
When no other word will do.
|
Shimmer!
|
|
Nice new features on your automobile,
|
Maybe I could get a lift uptown?
|
That's some crazy hat that you've got on today,
|
You really put my feet back on the ground.
|
You know talking ain't my speciality,
|
Forgive me if I'm just going round.
|
|
Shimmer!,
|
It's a way of life,
|
When no other life is true.
|
Shimmer!,
|
That's the only word,
|
When no other word will do.
|
Shimmer!,
|
It's a way of life,
|
When no other life is true.
|
Shimmer!,
|
That's the only word,
|
When no other word will do.
|
|
You know you have my affections,
|
And my deepest respect,
|
I'm sorry honey if sometimes I just show
|
Too much neglect
|
|
Shimmer!
|
|
Shimmer!,
|
It's a way of life,
|
When no other life is true.
|
Shimmer!,
|
That's the only word,
|
When no other word will do.
