Lush Life Lyrics - Sarah Vaughan's Finest Hour - Sarah Vaughan

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 distant gay 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 

Then you came along with your 

Siren song to tempt me to madness 

I thought for awhile 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 trough full of hearts could only be a bore 

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
