Les dimanches poétiques (53)

Body and Soul - Paroles d'Ella Fitzgerald

My heart is sad and lonely,

For you I sigh, for you dear only.

Why haven't you seen it?

I'm all for you, body and soul.

I spend my days in longing,

And wondering why it's me you're wronging.

I tell you, I mean it,

I'm all for you, body and soul.

I can't believe it,

It's hard to conceive it

That you'd turn away romance,

Are you pretending?

It looks like the ending?

Unless, I can have

One more chance to prove dear...

My life a wreck you're making!

You know I'm yours

For just the taking

I'd gladly surrender

Myself to you, body and soul!
