The Thrill Is Gone* - Dakota Staton, The George Shearing Quintet

I’m in your arms and you are kissing me

But there seems to be something missing in your kissing

The love we knew is just a memory

It’s turned into a comedy

The thrill is gone!

The thrill is gone!

I can see it in your eyes

I can hear it in your sighs

Feel your touch and realize

The thrill is gone

The nights are cold

For love is old

Love was grand when love was new

Birds were singing, skies were blue

Now it don’t appeal to you

The thrill is gone

This is the end, so why pretend

And let it linger on

The thrill is gone
