I’d Rather have The Blues / Nat King Cole

The night is mighty chilly
And conversation seems pretty silly
I feel so mean and rot
I’d rather have the blues than what I’ve got

The room is dark and gloomy
You don’t know what you’re doing to me
The web has got me caught
I’d rather have the blues than what I’ve got

All night I walk the city
Watching the people go by
I try to sing a little ditty
But all that comes out is a sigh

The street looks very frightening
The rain begins and then comes lightning
It seems love’s gone to pot
I’d rather have the blues than what I’ve got

All night I walk the city
Watching the people go by
I try to sing a little ditty
But all that comes out is a sigh

The wind is blowing colder
It looks like love is stale and older
My luck don’t look so hot
I’d rather have the blues than what I’ve got

Harlem Nocturne / Mel Tormé / Earle Hagen / Dick Rogers

A nocturne for the blues
Played on a broken heart string
It’s wailing out the news
My baby is gone from me
Dark shadows in the rain
A telephone that won’t ring
Just memories remain
Of lovers that used to be

I miss the laughs and the fun
My spot in the sun
When I was the one one and only
The music and lights
Those wonderful nights
The morning is the time we’d kiss

The laughs and the fun
My days in the sun
They’re over and done and I’m lonely
Don’t ask me to hide
The heartbreak inside
The gleaming spark is gone the light went dark

This nocturne for the blues
Took all and left me nothing
Nothing but the blues
‘Til baby comes back to me
