He too saw the promise
Of a distant light
But unlike him
He renounced the gold hat
And unlike her
She did not renounce him

His parties were simpler
But she was content
With what he could offer
A gift for hope
For a life together
And the promise of a dream

Don’t want no Daisy
That would make him crazy
He’s perfectly happy
To be a not so great Gatsby
A not so great Gatsby

Even now he remembered
The sad thing that happened to them
The deprivation
The desperation
The foul dust
That floated in their wakes

Don’t want no Daisy
That would make him crazy
He’s perfectly happy
To be a not so great Gatsby
A not so great Gatsby

Then through the smoke
He peered into her eyes
And saw the light there
Green as ever
And knew that they'd turn out
All right at the end

Don’t want no Daisy
That would make him crazy
He’s perfectly happy
To be a not so great Gatsby
A not so great Gatsby

Don’t want no Daisy
That would make him crazy
He’s perfectly happy
To be a not so great Gatsby
A not so great Gatsby

INBOX ME NOW

I'm a Japanese songwriter. I create dramatic songs with an acoustic sound. I aim to create music that incorporates elements of pop, jazz, and bossa nova, and that is easy to listen to for all ages.
