1.Body & Soul (Carly Simon) sözleri

Carly Simon tarafından albümünde söylenen Body & Soul adlı şarkının sözleri.

(heyman/sour/eyton/green)

My heart is sad and lonely
I sigh for you
For you dear only
Why haven’t you seen it
I’m all for you body and soul
I spend my days in longing
And wonder why
It’s me you’re wronging
I tell you I mean it
I’m all for you body and soul
I can’t believe it
It’s hard to conceive it
That you’d turn away romance
Are you pretending
It looks like the ending
Unless you’d give me one more chance
To prove dear
My life a wreck you’re making
You know I’m yours just for the taking
I’d gladly surrender
Myself to you - body and soul

Johnny w. green / edward heyman / robert sour / frank eyton

You’re making me blue
All that you do
Seems unfair
You try not to hear
Turn a deaf ear
To my prayer
It seems you don’t want to see
What you are doingg to me
My arms are waiting to caress you
And to my heart they long to press you, sweet heart

My heart is sad and lonely
For you I cry
For you, dear, only
I tell you I mean it
I’m all for you
Body and soul

I spend my days in longing
And wondering it’s me you’re wronging
Why haven’t you seen it
I’m all for you
Body and soul

I can’t believe it
It hard to conceive it
That you’d turn away romance
Are you pretending
Don’t say it’s the ending
I wish I could have one more change to prove, dear
My life a hell your’e making
You know I’m yours for just the taking
I’d gladly surrender
Myself to you
Body and soul

Life’s dreary for me
Day’s seem to be long as years
I’ve looked for the sun
But can see none
Through my tears
Your heart must be like a stone
To leave me like this alone
When you could make my life worth living
By taking what I’m set on giving, sweet heart

My heart is sad and lonely
For you I cry
For you, dear, only
I tell you I mean it
I’m all for you
Body and soul

I would gladly surrender myself to you body and soul

4.Body & Soul (Manhattan Transfer) sözleri

Manhattan Transfer tarafından albümünde söylenen Body & Soul adlı şarkının sözleri.

Don’t you knowhe was the king of saxophones
Yes indeed he was;
Talkin’ ’bout the guy that made it sound so good
Some people knew him by the bean
But hawkins was his name

He sure could swing and play pretty too
Sounds good to me -- should sound good to you
I love to hear him playing body and soul
Very pleasing to the ear

When I first heard it on the record
I just stopped-- right there
Sounded like a band of angels in the sky
And I have never ever heard a sweeter tone
I fact I pay no ’ttention to the saxophone
’til coleman hawkins came along and spoke to everyone --
Saying better listen won’t you hear me
While I play for you --

Sometimes it’s hot
Then again it’s blue
My soul just seems to wander
Pleasing each and everyone --
It’s what I’ve long been craving for

The doors have not been always open
But I am trying to please you.
Please don’t stop me.
Hope you like it folks

And then he started cookin’ --
Everytime he played
Some melodic melody fast or slow
You could tell that it was hawkins --

No other one ever has
Quite captured his tone
Just he alone --
Has the sound that penetrates
It will sure go right through you
Yes it will --
And every chorus gives you just another thrill

Then along came eddie jefferson
He sang the melody like hawkins played it
He sang it true
He sang it blue
Made words for it too

All his fans in new york loved him
There’s no one above him
Here in the usa
I’ve heard ’em say ol’ eddie was the man

Oh how he could sing
Man did he swing
Sang on the wingdid his own thing
Yes he did

Throughout the country --
Music lovers are still wiggin’ on eddie’s singin’
All around the world -- he is known
Rhythm was his special joy --
He swung it like a horn

He must have been born to be a singer
’cause his lyrics were so sincere and true
Funny sad or blue
Oh yeah!

And we’ve got to remind you
Many years it took him
Singing every day to achieve his first claim to fame

He was twenty years ahead of his time
And he knew it
But he kept right on-a singing
He went all around the world making rhythm
’cause music sure was in him and he knew it was

Sang with moody and richie cole
He could sing it just like bird
But his forte was the words he wrote to
Music that he sang

So he sangand he sang
And he sang his words so clever
And I know they’ll silence him never
’cause he cut this masterpiece

And now we’re trying to sing it for you
Hope the bean and eddie both would still approve
There we go
We didn’t mean to reminisce
You can surely bet
That we won’t forget
’cause we hear them yet
Goodbye
