Lingering(1955 Version) - Dinah Washington

作词：Dinah Washington/Patrick Peter Adams

作曲：Dinah Washington/Patrick Peter Adams

Although I know I'm doing wrong

My love for you is still going strong

I feel that heart break you will only

bring

So why do I let it keep on lingering

To watch my love make his retreat

Deep within my heart I weep

My heart should be learning how to sing

Instead of merely waiting and lingering

It's by myself I'm walking

It's to myself I'm talking

My heart know it's much too incomplete

It's only in my dreams I find

The kind of man I have in mind

So each day I face a new defeat

So by myself I'm dancing

Still in my mind I'm chancing

That this illusion will not end in tears

Maybe morning leaves him waiting

And perhaps relating that without me

There are only empty years
