I'm Lost

(альбом: Nat King Cole Sings / George Shearing Plays - 1961)

I'm lost
I'm like a king without a throne
I'm lost
Just like a dog without its bone
I'm walking 'round in circles doing things I shouldn't do
That's how much I'm lost without you

I'm lost
I'm like a heart without its beat
I'm lost
Just like an army in defeat
I'm like the autumn trees that shed their leaves when summer's through
That's how much I'm lost without you

Everything about me seems so strange, dear
My friends tell me I don't appear the same
I go around acting silly, dear Lea
I can't even remember my name, baby

I'm lost
Because the phone at home won't ring
I'm lost
A pit canary birds won't sing
I'm lost because each souvenir you left has faded blue
That's how much I'm lost without you

Everything about me seems so strange, dear
My friends tell me I don't appear the same
I go around acting silly, dear Lea
I can't even remember my name, baby

I'm lost
I'm like the phone that never rings
I'm lost
Without those little precious things
I'm lost because each souvenir you left has faded blue
That's how much I'm lost without you
