Lush Life Lyrics - Re: Generations - Nat King Cole

I used to visit 

All the very gay places 

Those come what may places 

Where one relaxes on the axis 

Of the wheel of life 

To get the feel of life 

From jazz and cocktails 

The girls I knew had 

Sad and sullen gray faces 

With distingué traces 

That used to be there 

You could see where 

They'd been washed away 

By too many through the day 

Twelve o'clock tales

9 Misheard Christmas Carol Lyrics 

Then you came along 

with your siren of song 

To tempt me to madness 

I thought for a while 

that your poignant smile 

Was tinged with the sadness 

Of a great love for me 

Ah, yes, I was wrong 

Again, I was wrong 

Life is lonely again 

And only last year 

Everything seemed so sure 

Now life is awful again 

A troughful of hearts 

Could only be a bore 

Photos 

A week in Paris 

Will ease the bite of it 

All I care is 

To smile in spite of it 

I'll forget you, I will 

While yet you are still 

Burning inside my brain 

Romance is mush 

Stifling those who strive 

I'll live a lush life 

In some small dive 

And there I'll be 

While I rot 

With the rest of those 

Whose lives are lonely, too
