Tutti For Cootie - Kurt Elling

Tutti For Cootie - Kurt Elling
Composed by：Duke Ellington/Jimmy Hamilton
Everyday bleeds away
When I face it without you
Everything's grey
And I run away from sunshine's rays without you
Every song's minor and tragic
That's everyday that goes by without your magic
I'm drowning under the sound
Of the clocks ticking
It's crushing all my dreams
And all my little hopes of loving
It's a beating of beats
That repeats and repeats
And it keeps me from knowing some peace
In the night would be quite alright with me now
It's too much
It's too strong
It's too long breathing without seeing you
In ain't nothing
Smoking all my little cigarettes up
My momma done took me
Just to come on home
Oh no
How to go on living
Knowing my light is where you are
And just then you walk through my door
When you're home the sky turns blue
Everything's a happy hue
There's a rainbow in your eyes
And happiness is just a kiss away
A smile from you
I'm just a happy puppy
Don't need no map just come just closer now
Let's take a trip up aboard that ship
There's islands of love awaiting lovely lovers
Who venture onto the sea
We we could be famous for loving
Two sweethearts just doing their thing
Clark Kent and his Loise Lane
Roxane and for sirono tethers ain't
Tarzan and his Jane
They held on 'til they could swing it
Boris and the tall Natasha
Captain Smith and Pocahontas magnetically veined
And you send me now
Apprehend me baby
My world's empty
When I'm without you
So can't you keep closer to me
And love me baby
Everything you bring makes me sing
Like Jacob bouncing off the walls
Up and down the halls
Say you'll stay
And make everything a lovely lovers bouquet
Just so it's clear to say
As long as you can stay I'll be happy with you
You'll be happy too
And so make a break
For heavens sake
'Cause there's no faking love
It's a deed everyday
To let love make a way
So just promise you can stay
