Misty (Erroll Gardner)

Erroll Gardner



Nat King Cole


Look at me, I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree,
And I feel like I'm clinging to a cloud, I can't understand,
I get misty, just holding your hand.
Walk my way, and a thousand violins begin to play,
Or it might be the sound of your hello, that music I hear,
I get misty, the moment you're near.
(BRIDGE)
*You can say that you're leading me on,
But it's just what I want you to do,
Don't you notice how hopelessly I'm lost,
That's why I'm following you.
On my own, would I wander through this wonderland alone,
Never knowing my right foot from my left, my hat from my glove,
I'm too misty, and too much in love.
I'm too misty, and too much in love.
(Instrumental interlude and pick up at bridge*.)
*You can say that you're leading me on,
But it's just what I want you to do,
Don't you notice how hopelessly I'm lost,
That's why I'm following you.
On my own, would I wander through this wonderland alone,
Never knowing my right foot from my left, my hat from my glove,
I'm too misty, and too much in love.
I'm too misty, and too much in love.

Johnny Burke, lyrics
Johnny Mathis 1959

-Le- morceau de jazz par excellence. Misty à inspiré nombre de musiciens et qui depuis 60 ans ne trouve pas son pareil.
Très belle interprétation de Nat King Cole.
Non moins belle interprétation de Johnny Mathis, à écouter absolument!
