Shirley Horn - Wild Is the Wind Lyrics

Come a little closer
I will sing you my song
Just a little closer
It wont take very long

It's late and we cant play this piano to loud
'Cause the neighbors upstairs are as sleep, and dreaming

Come a little closer
I will tell you my happiness
Softly, sweetly

Come a little closer and I will sing my song
A little closer it wont take very long
And when its finished
I know we'll be a little closer than we are
Just a little closer than we were before

Love me, love me, say you do
Let me fly away with you
For my love is like the wind
And wild is the wind

Give me more than one caress
Satisfy this hungriness
Let the wind blow through your heart
For wild is the wind

You touch me
I hear the sound of mandolins
You kiss me
And with a kiss the world begins
You are Spring to me,
All things to me

You are life itself
Like a leave clings to a tree
Oh my darling cling to me
For we are creatures of the wind
And wild is the wind, the wind, the wind
Wild is my love for you
