Shirley Horn все тексты (слова) песен, переводы, видео, клипы

No complaints and no regrets.
I still believe in chasing dreams and placing bets.
But i have learned that all you give is all you get, so give it all you got.
I had my share, i drank my fill, and even though i’m satisfied i’m hungry still
To see what’s down another road, beyond a hill and do it all again.
So here’s to life and all the joy it brings.
Here’s to life the dreamers and their dreams.
Funny how the time just flies.

Shirley Horn (р. 1 мая 1934 г. в Вашингтоне, США) — вокалистка и пианистка, в основном выступала в трио, аккомпанировала себе сама.

На фортепиано играла с четырех лет, училась в Гарвардском университете в Вашингтоне. Первое трио организовала в 1954 году, ее поддержали Майлз Дэвис и Куинси Джонс (с симфоджазовым оркестром Джонса записала альбом Horn Of Plenty). Работала в европейских клубах и кабаре или в Вашингтоне и его окрестностях, поэтому известность приходила медленно. Только в 1981 году, когда Хорн совершила продолжительную гастрольную поездку в Европу, на нее обратили внимание в США, и фирма Major предложила контракт.

If you go away
On this summer's day
Then you might as well
Take the sun away
All the birds that flew
In the summer sky
When our love was new
And our hearts were high

If the sun should tumble from the sky
If the sea should suddenly run dry
If you love me, really love me
Let it happen, I won’t care
If it seems that everything is lost
I should smile and never count the cost
If you love me, really love me
Let it happen, darling, I won’t care

Lately, I find myself out 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,

Each place I go only the lonely go
Some little small cafe‚
The songs I know only the lonely know
Each melody recalls a love that used to be
The dreams I dream only the lonely dream
Of lips as warm as May
That hopeless scheme only the lonely scheme
That soon somewhere you'll find a love that used to care

Come my love with me
Across the sea,
Return to paradise!
All in life worthwhile
Is on that isle,
Return to paradise!

Velvet moon above,

Oh, the good life, full of fun,
Seems to be the ideal
Yes, the good life let's you hide
All the sadness you feel.

You won't really fall in love,
For you can't take the chance
So be honest with yourself,

Make believe we've landed on a desert island
Bathe me in the waters, warm me in the moonlight
Taste me with your kisses, find my secret places
Touch me till I tremble, free my wings for flying
And catch me while I’m falling
Keep your arms around me
Like there’s no tomorrow
Let me know you love me

Come a little closer
I will sing you my song
Just a little closer
It wont take very long

It's late and we cant play this piano to loud
'Cause the neighbors upstairs are as sleep, and dreaming
