standards

[rachelrose]

I have been even more obsessed with standards lately than I usually am.

I would be so happy to have a gig at a swanky bar just singing standards and interacting with the crowd. If I had all the money in the world- that's what I would do.

I love singing and I love doing make-up.

But here are a few songs that I have been really into lately with the lyrics under the cut:


Small Talk:
I don't want to talk small talk,
now that I'm alone with you.
I don't wanna talk small talk,
we've got bigger things to do.
Let's not talk of the weather,
or the fashions for the fall
Why don't you talk all this small talk,
I've got something better for your lips to do.
And that takes no talk at all.

Hey There:
Hey there, you with the stars in your eyes,
Love never made a fool of you,
You used to be too wise.
Hey there you on that high flying cloud,
Though she won;t throw a crumb to you,
You think someday she;ll run come to you.
Better forget her,
Her with her nose in the air,
She has you dancing on a string,
Break it and she won't care.
Wont you take this advice,
I hand you like a brother,
Or are you not seeing things too clear,
Are you just too far gone to hear,
Is it all going in one ear,
Ad out the other?

I Could Write a Book:
If they asked me,I could write a book,
About the way you walk and whisper and look
I could write a preface on how we met
So the world would never forget
And the simple secret of the plot,
Is just to tell them that I love you a lot,
And the world discovers as my book ends,
How to make two lovers of friends.
