It Never Entered My Mind Lyrics - Coleman Hawkins Encounters Ben Webster - Coleman Hawkins

Once I laughed when I heard you saying 

That I'd be playing solitaire 

Uneasy in my easy chair 

It never entered my mind 

And once you told me I was mistaken 

That I'd awaken with the sun 

And ordered orange juice for one 

It never entered my mind 

You had what I lack, myself 

Now I even have to scratch my back myself 

Once you warned me that if you scorned me 

I'd say a lonely prayer again 

And wish that you were there again 

To get into my hair again 

It never entered my mind 

Once you warned me that if you scorned me 

I'd say a lonely prayer again 

And wish that you were there again 

To get into my hair again 

It never entered my mind
