Misty

Misty

music by Erroll Garner (above)

lyric by Johnny Burke (top l-r: Jimmy Van Heusen, Johnny Burke)

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.

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...
