Feedin’ the Bean - Coleman Hawkins

Everywhere that beauty glows you are

Everywhere an orchid grows you are

Everything that’s young and gay

Brighter than a holiday

Everywhere the angels play you are

You’re like Paris in April and May

You’re New York on a silvery day

A Swiss Alp as the sun grows fainter

You’re Loch Lomond when autumn is the painter

You’re moonlight on a night in Capri

And Cape Cod looking out at the sea

You’re all places that leave me breathless

And no wonder, you’re all the world to me

(dance break)

You’re Lake Como when dawn is aglow

You’re Sun Valley right after a snow

A museum, a Persian palace

You’re my shining Aurora Borealis

You’re like Christmas at home by a tree

The blue calm of a tropical sea

You’re all places that leave me breathless

And no wonder, you’re all the world to me
