Come Live with Me - Count Basie

Come live with me and be my love

Share my bread and wine

Be wife to me, be life to me, be mine

Come live with me and be my love

Let our dreams combine

Be mate to me, be fate to me, be mine

With these hands I’ll build a roof

To shield your head

And with these hands

I’ll carve the wood for a baby bed

Come live with me and be my love

Share my bread and wine

Be part of me, the heart of me, be mine

I’ll try to do my best for you

I promise you

I’ll laugh with you, I’ll cry with you, my whole life through

Come live with me and be my love

Share my bread and wine

Be part of me, the heart of me, be mine…
