Dinah Washington - For Those In Love (1995) by Dinah Washington (보컬) on maniadb.com

My story is much too sad to be told
But practically ev'rything leaves me totally cold
The only exception I know is the case
When I'm out on a quiet spree
Fighting vainly the old ennui
And I suddenly turn and see
Your fabulous face....

I get no kick from champagne
Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all
So tell me why should it be true
That I get a kick out of you

Some get a kick from cocaine
I'm sure that if I took even one sniff
That would bore me terrific'ly too
Yet I get a kick out of you

I get a kick ev'ry time I see
You're standing there before me
I get a kick though it's clear to see
You obviously do not adore me

I get no kick in a plane
Flying too high with some gal/guy in the sky
Is my idea of nothing to do
But I get a kick out of you

Blue gardenia
now I'm alone with you
and I am also blue.

He has tossed us aside
and like you, gardenia,
once I was near his heart.

After the tear drops start,
where are tear drops to hide?

I lived for an hour,
what more can I tell?

Love bloomed like a flower
then the petals fell.

Blue gardenia,
thrown to a passing breeze,
but pressed,
yes, there pressed in my book of memories.

I lived for an hour,
what more can I tell?

Love bloomed like a flower
and then the petals fell.

Blue gardenia,
thrown to a passing breeze,
but pressed
in my book of memo-ries,
but pressed
in my book of memo-ries.

Living for you is easy living
It's easy to live when you're in love
And I'm so in love
There's nothing in life but you

I'll never regret the things I'm giving
They're easy to give when you're in love
I'm happy to do whatever I do for you

For you maybe I'm a fool, but it's fun
People say you rule me with one wave of your hand
Darling, it's grand, they just don't understand

Living for you is easy living
It's easy to live when you're in love
And I'm so in love
There's nothing in life but you

For you maybe I'm a fool, but it's fun
People say you rule me with one wave of your hand
Baby, it's grand, they just don't understand

Living for you is easy living
It's easy to live when you're in love
And I'm so in love
There's nothing in life but you

You don't know what love is until you've learned the meaning of the Blues.
Until you've loved a love you had to lose:
You don't know what love is.

You don't know how lips burn until you've kissed and had to pay the cost;
Until you've flipped your heart and you have lost:
You don't know what love is.

Do you know how a lost heart fears the thought of reminiscing?
And lips that taste of tears lose their taste for kissing.

You don't know how hearts ache for love that cannot live yet never dies,
Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes:
You don't know what love is.
You don't know what love is.

If they asked me, I could write a book
About the way you walk and whisper
And look.
I could write a preface
On how we met
So the world would never forget.
And the simple
Secret of the plot
Is just to tell them
That I love you, a lot
Then the world discovers
As my book ends
How to make two lovers of friends

He stays out every night
And leaves me all alone
He never tells me where he goes
I'm not the only lonely one

Just ask a woman who knows
We used to share our troubles
And our good times too
But now I'm left with all the woes
I'm not the only sorry one
Lord, just ask a woman who knows
The days are long
The nights are longer
I've got the lonesomest blues

You know my only consolation
Is I ain't got nothing more to lose
So there you've got the story
Of a love gone wrong
That used to blossom like a rose
I'm not the only broken heart
Mmm, ask a woman who knows
Well my only consolation
Is I got nothing more to lose

So there you have the story
Of a love gone wrong
That used to blossom like a rose
But I'm not the only broken heart
Just ask a woman
And I'm a woman
Just ask a woman who knows
