My Funny Valentine

Meine verspätete Liebeserklärung an Jazz und Soul...

Jazz-Legende Chet Baker:

My Funny Valentine

My funny Valentine
Sweet comic Valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you're my favourite work of art

Is your figure less than Greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?

But don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine stay
Each day is Valentine's day

Is your figure less than Greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?

But don't you change one hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine stay
Each day is Valentine's day

Wenn ich diese Musik höre, denke ich nach, wie sanft man sein könnte, aber man tut es nicht. Vieles geht verloren nur deswegen, dass man sich selbst vorrangig mit dem Leben befriedigen will und behauptet, dass man nur ein Mal seine Spuren auf diesem Planeten hinterlässt. Ich bin nicht liebeskrank, nein, ich bin nur mit dem Leben infiziert. Solche Gedanken haben mich jetzt besucht. Werde weiter lernen ohne weitere Gedanken...

Norah Jones "What Am I To You"

What Am I To You?

What am I to you
Tell me darling true
To me you are the sea
Fast as you can be
And deep the shade of blue

When you're feeling low
To whom else do you go
See I cry if you hurt
I'd give you my last shirt
Because I love you so

If my sky should fall
Would you even call
Opened up my heart
I never want to part
I'm giving you the ball

When I look in your eyes
I can feel the butterflies
I love you when you're blue
Tell me darlin' true
What am I to you

Yeah well if my sky should fall
Would you even call
Opened up my heart
Never wanna part
I'm giving you the ball

When I look in your eyes
I can feel the butterflies
Could you find a love in me
Could you carve me in a tree
Don't fill my heart with lies

I will you love when you're blue
Tell me darlin' true
What am I to you
What am I to you
What am I to you
