Lush Life Lyrics

	Lyrics：Billy Strayhorn Music：Billy Strayhorn
	I used to visit all the very gay places
	Those come what may places
	Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life
	To get the feel of life from jazz and cocktails
	The girls I knew had sad and sullen grey faces
	With distingue traces
	That used to be there you could see where they'd been washed away
	By too many through the day twelve o'clock tales
	Then you came along with your siren song
	To tempt me to madness
	I thought for a while that your poignant smile
	Was tinged with the sadness of a great love for me
	Ah yes I was wrong, again I was wrong
	Life is lonely again
	And only last year everything seemed so sure
	Now life is awful again
	A trough full of hearts could only be a bore
	A week in Paris could ease the bite of it
	All I care is to smile in spite of it
	I'll forget you, I will
	While yet you are still burning inside my brain
	Romance is mush, stifling those who strive
	So I'll live a lush life in some small dive
	And there I'll be
	While I rot
	With the rest of those whose lives are lonely too
