Cocktails For Two - Don Byas, Dizzy Gillespie

Why do they come when you’re always raining?

And why can’t they make a sound?

And seeing the other ones fall back down

Because you’re so far from old

And you’re wailing

Why do they come when you’re always raining?

And why can’t they make a sound?

And seeing the other ones fall back down

Because you’re so far from old

And you’re wailing

You’re so far from old

And you’re wailing

And watched it grow in a small dark corner

And why can’t they make a sound?

And watching the other ones fall back down

And I’ve watched you go cold

And there’s no tears left

And why do they come when the light stops raining?

And where have the colors gone?

And wiping their white across

And now it’s all gone

Because you’re so far from old

And you’re wailing
