Lyrics Ella Fitzgerald

Ella Fitzgerald

Lover

Lover, when I'm near you

And I hear you speak my name

Softly in my ear

You breathe a flame

Lover, when we're dancing

Keep on glancing in my eyes

Till love's own entrancing

Music dies

All of my future is in you

Your every plan I design

Promise you'll always continue

To be mine

Lover, please be tender

When you're tender fears depart

Lover, I surrender

To my heart

Lover, it's immoral

But why quarrel with our bliss

When two lips of coral

Want to kiss

I say the devil is in you

And to resist you, I try

But if you didn't continue

I would die

Lover, please be tender

When you're tender fears depart

Lover, I surrender

To my heart
