Give Him the Ooh-La-La: I Walk a Little Faster - Blossom Dearie

Up Madison, down Park, every day and often after dark

Pretending that we’ll meet

Each time I turn a corner, I walk a little faster

Pretending life is sweet

‘Cause love’s around the corner, I walk a little faster

Can’t begin to see my future shine as yet

No sign as yet, you’re mine as yet

Rushing toward a face I can’t define as yet

Keep bumping into walls taking lots of falls

But even though I meet at each and every corner

With nothing but disaster

I set my chin a little higher, hope a little longer

Build a little stringer castle in the air

And thinking you’ll be there, I walk a little faster
