Ella Fitzgerald and Ella Fitzgerald & Her Famous Orchestra - Lover, Come Back to Me

Lover, when I'm near you, and I hear you speak my name
Softly, in my ear you breathe a flame

Lover, when we're dancing, keep on glancing in my eyes
Till love's own entrancing music dies

All of my future is in you
Your every plan I design
Promise you'll always continue
To be mine

Lover, please, be tender; when you're tender, fears depart
Lover, I surrender to my heart

Lover, it's immoral, but why quarrel with our bliss
When two lips of coral want to kiss?

I say the devil is in you, and to resist you I try
But if you didn't continue, I would die

Lover, please, be tender; when you're tender, fears depart
Lover, I surrender to my heart
