1958년 3월 7일 시카고의 클럽 'London House'에서 녹음된 앨범 [After Hours at the London House]는 당시 사라 본의 인기를 반영하듯 넘쳐나는 스케쥴로 심야시간인 새벽 2시 30분 미리 초청된 관계자와 언론인들을 관객으로 그녀의 오리지널 트리오와 카운트 베이스 빅밴드의 혼 주자인 태드 존스, 프랭크 웨스 등 4인의 브라스맨이 참여하여 녹음된 음반이다. 충분하지 못한 사전 리허설과 멤버간의 조율에도 불구하고 사라 본의 찬란하고 우아한 보컬은 앨범의 가치를 한층 더 부각시키고 있다. .... ....
Lately, I find myself gazing at stars Hearing guitars like someone in love Sometimes the things I do astound me Mostly whenever you're around me Lately I seem to walk as though I had wings Bump into things like someone in love Each time I look at you I'm limp as a glove And feeling like someone in love
Smooth road, clear day But why am I the only one Trav'ling this way? How strange the road to love should be so easy Can there be a detour ahead?
Wake up, slow down Before you crash and break your heart Gullible clown, you fool You're headed in the wrong direction Can't you see the detour ahead?
The farther you travel The harder to unravel the web he spins around you Turn back while there's time Can't you see the danger sign? Soft shoulders surround you
Smooth road, clear night Oh lucky me, that suddenly I saw the light I'm turning back away from all this trouble Smooth road, smooth road, no detour ahead
Three little words Oh what I'd give for that wonderful phrase To hear those three little words That's all I'd live for the rest of my days
And what I feel in my heart they tell sincerely No other words can tell it half so clear-early Three little words wight little letters Which simply mean I love you
And what I feel in my heart they tell sincerely No other words can tell it half so clear-early Three little words eight little letters Which simply mean I love you Simply mean I, I love you
Speak low when you speak, love Our summer day withers away too soon, too soon Speak low when you speak, love Our moment is swift; like ships adrift, we're swept apart too soon
Speak low, darling, speak low Love is a spark lost in the dark too soon, too soon I feel wherever I go That tomorrow is near, tomorrow is here and always too soon
Time is so old and love so brief Love is pure gold and time a thief
We're late, darling, we're late The curtain descends, everything ends too soon, too soon I wait, darling, I wait Will you speak low to me? Speak love to me and soon
Time is so old and love so brief Love is pure gold and time a thief
We're late, darling, we're late The curtain descends, everything ends too soon, too soon I wait, darling, I wait Will you speak low to me? Speak love to me and soon Speak low
I love the look of you, the lure of you The sweet of you, the pure of you The eyes, the arms, the mouth of you The east, west, north, and the south of you
I'd love to gain complete control of you And handle even the heart and soul of you So love, at least, a small percent of me, do For I love all of you
I'd love to gain complete control of you And handle even the heart and soul of you So love, at least, a small percent of me, do For I love all of you, for I love all of you
Thanks for the memory Of things I can't forget, journeys on a jet Our wondrous week in Martinique and Vegas and roulette How lucky I was
And thanks for the memory Of summers by the sea, dawn in Waikiki We had a pad in London, but we didn't stop for tea How cozy it was
Now since our breakup, I wake up Alone on a gray morning-after I long for the sound of your laughter And then I see the laugh's on me
But thanks for the memory Of every touch and thrill; I've been through the mill I've lived a lot and learned a lot; you loved me not and still I miss you so much
Thanks for the memory Of how we used to jog even in a fog That barbecue in Malibu away from all the smog How rainy it was
Thanks for the memory Of letters I destroyed, books that we enjoyed Tonight, the way things look, I need a book by Sigmund Freud How brainy he was
Gone are those evenings on Broadway Together we'd go to a great show But now I begin with the Late Show And wish that you were watching too
I know it's a fallacy That grown men never cry; baby, that's a lie We had our bed of roses, but forgot that roses die And thank you so much
