Evenin' - Count Basie, Lester Young, Jimmy Rushing

Evenin'

Every night you come and you find me

Must you always come and remind me

That my gal is gone

Hurry, evenin'

Don’t you see I’m deep in your power

Every minute seems like an hour

Since my gal is gone

Shadows fall

On the wall

That’s the time I miss her kiss most of all

Even though I try

How can I go on?

Take me, evenin'

Let me sleep 'til gray dawn is breaking

I don’t care if I don’t awaken

For my gal is gone

Shadows fall

On the wall

That’s the time I miss her kiss most of all

Even though I try

How can I go on?

Take me, evenin'

Let me sleep 'til gray dawn is breaking

I don’t care if I don’t awaken

For my gal is gone
