about

music by Heitor Villa Lobos
lyrics by Abbey Lincoln

lyrics

A hint of faint excitement when at first I saw him there
the merest comprehension of a silent somber stare
the pain that was apparent as the blackness of his hair
until a precious devil smile seemed to say "I care"
the sounding of my heart was heard to carry through the air
I held my breath a moment as I spoke a tiny prayer

The way it was to hear his lusty laughter overspill
a face that told of living much that caused my eyes to fill
was veiled as though anticipating faithless fortune still
and then he took my hand and led me to the highest hill
where shining stars and yellow moon did cause my heart to thrill
and all my life with all my love his bidding I'll be willing

You definitely want to hear this girl sing... if you can handle it. ... more
