Melancholy Lover

by Linda Sartain

/

about

Slightly tongue-in-cheek bossa nova jazz solo, from a siren trying to cheer up her man.

lyrics

My melancholy lover
So tender, sweet and kind
Still waiting to discover
Some happiness and peace of mind.
Such a look there on your face, my love
It seems so sad and out-of-place, my love
Won't you put it down and turn around
And come out from the dark side of the moon?
Soon
We will be together
I'll reach out and touch your hand.
Will it be the same familiar touch
The one I've learned to love and understand?

I have known you for so long now
Learned each look, each shadowed glance
I've seen mischief, love and laughter
Reverie and sweet romance
I've seen anger and despair my love
Hope again and peace that comes
From knowing all that's gone before
Yet reaching out to try once more
And finding that you're with your dearest friend.

So - feeling low and kind of sad?
Come talk of all the times we've had
And smile, and say it's not so bad
My tender - melancholy - lad.
