Billie's Bounce Lyrics - Eddie Jefferson

I've overlooked so many things 

Through the years 

Through my tears 

Through the years 

Then I went and opened my eyes. 

You were my idea... 

Heaven with open arms. 

Now that I've found myself this once, 

I think that it is best 

We build our little nest 

Hear the rest, yes it's best 

I won't stop and think of the things 

I really couldn't do until I met you. 

Please baby listen to my plea 

Understand my love and you will find it true, Love. 

I want you to know just how I feel 

Right from the start 

and hope that you feel the same. 

I've never had the slighest doubt 

...and hope I never will, 

I pray our love will blossom with each thrill 

...I hope you feel the same. 

Please baby don't let me linger... 

Open up your soul when you open up your arms for me alone 

...then I know I'll find a way to make it plain...I love you. 

I think of you, Dear 

You're the only one I've wanted since I have met you 

and I need you every moment, Mama 

Stay by my side. 

I know we're meant to find true love, Dear 

I vow you'll never leave me once I have you. 

I'll never know the song the bluebird sings 

...when he's lonely. 

Well... 

It'll have to be, can't you see 

...I did used to wonder, 

You can love me, 

Tell me...do ya? 

For it is true, Dear 

...there's no other but ya. 

Then I went and said it all over again, 

the way you made me love you it's a sin 

...but what can I do?
