Shirley Horn - Here s to Life

This is a jazz song, performed by Shirley Horn. На фотографии ей лет 60-65. Поет, как бог... Хочу поделиться хотя бы словами, кто не слышал.


No complaints... and no regrets
I still believe in chasing dreams
And placing bets...
But I have learned
That all you give is all you get
So give it ... all you've got...

I had my share, I drank my fill,
And even though I'm satisfied,
I'm hungry still
To see what's down another road
beyond the hill
and do it all again...

Refrain:
 So here's to life
 And every joy it brings...
 Here is to life!
 To dreamers and their dreams...


Funny, how the time just flies...
A love can go from warm hallos
to sad good-byes
and leave you with the memories
you've memorized
to keep your winters warm...

For there's no yes in yesterday
and who knows what tomorrow brings
or takes away
As long as I'm still in the game
I want to play
for laughs... for life... for love...

Refrain


May all your storms be weathered
and all that's good get better
Here's to life...
Here's to love...
Here's to you...
 (Sing the last stanza slowly, twice)
