You had what I lack...


















Johnny Hartman - It Never Entered My Mind

Once I laughed when I heard you saying
That I'd be playing solitaire
Uneasy in my easy chair
It never entered my mind

Once you told me I was mistaken
That I'd awaken with the sun
And ordered orange juice for one
It never entered my mind

You had what I lack, myself
And now I even have to scratch my back myself

Once you warned me that if you scorned me
I'd sing a loser's prayer again
And wish that you were there again
To get into my hair again
It never entered my mind

You had what I lack, myself
And now I even have to scratch my back myself
Once you warned me that if you scorned me
I'd sing a loser's prayer again
And wish that you were here again
To get into...to get into my hair again
It never entered...it never entered...
It never entered my mind...

The thing that's known as romance is wonderful...









John Coltrane & Johnny Hartman - They Say It's Wonderful

They say that falling in love is wonderful
So wonderful
So they say
The thing that's known as romance is wonderful
So wonderful
So they tell me

I can't recall who said it
I know I never read it
I only know they tell me that love is grand
And...

If there's a moon up above
It's wonderful, wonderful
In every way
So they say

You leave your house one morning
And without any warning
You'll find yourself shouting that love is grand
To hold your girl in your arms is wonderful, wonderful
In every way
So they say

It would be like my heart and me...dedicated to you...











John Coltrane & Johnny Hartman - Dedicated To You

If I should write a book for you
That brought me fame and fortune too
That book would be like my heart and me
Dedicated to you.
If I should paint a picture too
That showed the loveliness of you
My art would be, like my heart and me,
Dedicated to you.
To you, because your love is the beacon that lights up my way.
To you because with you I know a lifetime could be just one heavenly day.

If I should find a twinkling star
One half so wonderous as you are.
That star would be, like my heart and me,
Dedicated to you.
