Drift Away
Understand, kid
It's been just grand, kid
The cocktails, the cuff links, the fun
Remember me when you're singing "Tea for One"
If you're gone, who would I even talk to?
Yourself. The occasional cat
That's not funny
After I'm gone
When the ocean's haze
Blankets the grounds in grey
Drift away on the tide
Drift away
When you're alone
And the twilight's glow
Shimmers across the bay
Drift away on a wave
Drift away
Our tete-a-tetes
Midnight duets
Our breakfast tea and toast
Funny how things that mean the least
Are what we miss the most
Deep in the night
When the whispering breeze
Sings this song I play
Shed a tear and be glad
For the fun that we had
Drift away on a dream
Drift away
You're my soulmate, that's what you are
"Soulmate." Is that the nom de jour?
I have no idea what you mean
For the party this afternoon
Which would you prefer?
Should I wear the white satin jacket you bought for me at Bergdorf's?
Or the linen one you picked up in Rome?
Now, Gould - Gould!
It's been just grand, kid

Blankets the grounds in grey
