jazz song lyrics reworked

Lady Love

She comes quietly from the daylight
she draws up close with fine perfume
city sounds fade out of mind
when lady love walks into the room.

She brings a spell to put you under
an old trick you can't refuse
hungry hearts beat like thunder
when lady love walks into the room.

She can glove your best endeavour
and she'll melt you with her flame
lonely souls search for each other
when lady love plays her game.

Dream sailor score yourself a lover
the winds of charm are blowing through
there's adventures to discover
when lady love walks into the room.

She's got those gold contract pictures
she's in the Penthouse with a view
and every eye will drift to her
when lady love walks into the room.

Bartender pour the boys a buffer
it's another highball afternoon
they just can't stay undercover
when lady love walks into the room.

She's got dancing rosy color
and legs for miles above her shoes
so dream sailor score yourself a lover
here comes lady love into the room

true love never looks after it's own interests

You'd better believe that when lady love walks into the room sanity flees.

Thanks James, I know a few have walked into rooms I happened to be in. I appreciate the comment.

Eric

Amaryllis
Thanks for the read and the fine comment.

Eric

Ms. E
Yep, that's the idea lyrics for a jazz song like Al Jurreau might sing. Thanks for the kind comment.

This one is so melodic I'm in the club, trying to see the stage through the smoky haze... as a "whiskey and cigarette" voice tells it like it is. *S* Beautiful work!!
