about

I learned this tune from the fabulous singing of jazz great Blossom Dearie:

lyrics

Pretending that we meet
Round each and every 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, and 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 stronger castle in the air.
And thinking you’ll be there,
I walk a little faster.
