Ray Charles
A Tree In The Park
[Verse]
When the noisy town
Lets its windows down
Little slaves are free at night;
Then we'll soon retreet
From the busy street
Till the crowds are out of sight
There's a rendezvous for lovers
Where we two can play
Very near your door
In the city's core
But it seems a millions miles away
Meet me underneath our little tree in the park!
No one else around, but you and me in the dark!
Just five minutes from your door-step
I'll wait for your step to come along!
And the city's roar becomes a song!
While I'm waiting, I discover more in your charms;
Suddenly I turn around, and your in my arms
And if there's a moon above you
I'll carve "I Love You," upon the bark
Underneath our little tree, inside the park!
We'll make every bough
Shake, and wonder how
Two could be so nearly one
Every blade of grass
Sadly sighs, "Alas!"
Grass can never have such fun
In the desert town's oasis
We'll love ' neath the tree;
It can't be a-miss
If the birdies kiss;
We're as good as birds, aren't we?
