歌词

歌曲名 Lush Life

歌手名 Sarah Vaughan

I used to visit all the very gay places

Those come what may places

Where one relaxes on the

Axis of the wheel of life

To get the feel of life

from jazz and cocktails

The girls I knew had sad

and sullen gray faces

With distingue traces

that used to be there

You could see where

they'd been washed away

By too many through

the day twelve o'clock tales

Then you came along

with your siren song

To tempt me to madness

I thought for awhile

that your poignant smile

Was tinged with the sadness

Of a great love for me

Ah yes I was wrong

Again I was wrong

Life is lonely again

and only last year

Everything seemed so sure

Now life is awful again

A trough full of hearts

could only be a bore

A week in Paris could

ease the bite of it

All I care is to smile in spite of it

I'll forget you I will

while yet you are still

Burning inside my

brain romance is mush

Stifling those who strive

I'll live a lush life in some small dive

And there I'll be

While I rot with the rest of those

Whose lives are lonely too
