do you
i do 
make believe we could be lovers 
for a long time
maybe for all time
if i could be your valentine

then we 
would be
together and forever 
we'd be dancing 
we’d be singing 
if i could be your valentine

can you see 
you're already inside of me
here in my heart 
where you will always be

someday 
maybe one day 
you’ll realize that i'm the one 
you need to be with
to share your dreams with

i'm only living for the day 
life would be 
so divine 
for you and me 
if i could be 
your valentine

LYRICS:

Shades of night are creeping
willow trees are weeping
old folks and babies are sleeping
silver stars are gleaming
all alone I'm scheming
scheming to get you out here
my dear

Come tip toe to the window
By the window, that is where I'll be
Come tip toe through the tulips with me

Tip toe from your pillow
to the shadow of a willow tree
Come tip toe through the tulips with me

Knee deep in flowers we'll stray
We'll keep the showers away
And if I kiss you in the garden
in the moonlight
will you pardon me
come tip toe through the tulips with me

(Instrumental solos)

Tip toe to the window
By the window, that is where I'll be
Come tip toe through the tulips with me

Tip toe from your pillow
to the shadow of a willow tree
Come tip toe through the tulips with me

Knee deep in flowers we'll stray
We'll keep the showers away
and if I kiss you in the garden
in the moonlight
will you pardon me
come tip toe through the tulips
with me

My Favourite Friend

Released in 1965, Nat King Cole’s “L.O.V.E.” is a timeless jazz standard that celebrates the powerful emotion of love. The song’s lyrics, penned by Dr. Seuss (pen name Theodor Geisel), paint a vivid picture of love’s transformative effects. Cole’s smooth vocals and the lush orchestral arrangement create a romantic and intimate atmosphere.

The song’s opening lines, “L.O.V.E. is a four-letter word, but it’s the greatest word of all,” immediately set the tone for the lyrical exploration of love’s power. Dr. Seuss’s clever wordplay and playful rhymes add a touch of whimsy to the song, while also conveying the profound impact of love. The lyrics explore the various aspects of love, from its ability to make one feel “silly” and “crazy” to its power to “turn the world around.”

Nat King Cole’s interpretation of the song is masterful. His voice is warm and inviting, conveying a sense of tenderness and sincerity. The orchestral arrangement, featuring lush strings and a swinging rhythm section, complements Cole’s vocals perfectly. The song’s bridge, with its soaring melody and heartfelt lyrics, is a particular highlight.

L.O.V.E. - Nat King Cole - Billy Bob Martin

Space Flight

The sound of a plano dances between the smoke volutes. The warm and melancholic notes are intertwined with the crackling of a cigarette's embers, while time seems to slow down, suspended between the undulating rhythm of jazz and the slowness of a deep shot.
In every melody, in every breath, there is a refuge for those who seek untelled stories, thoughts never confessed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Il suono di un piano danza tra le volute di fumo. Le note calde e malinconiche si intrecciano con il crepitio della brace di una sigaretta, mentre il tempo sembra rallentare, sospeso tra il ritmo ondulante del jazz e la lentezza di un tiro profondo.
 In ogni melodia, in ogni boccata, si trova un rifugio per chi cerca storie non dette, pensieri mai confessati.

Just a chill piece of light jazz. If I ever play out again, I thought this might make a nice opening number.
