Yardbird Suite - Carmen McRae

It’s hard to learn

How tears can burn one’s heart

But that’s a thing that I found out

Too late I guess, Cause I’m in a mess

My faith has gone

Why lead me on this way?

I thought there’d be no price on love

But I had to pay

If I could perform one miracle

I’d revive your thoughts of me

Yet I know that it’s hopeless

You could never really care

That’s why I despair!

I’ll go along hoping

Someday you’ll learn

The flame in my heart, Dear

Forever will burn!
