Ella Fitzgerald con Duke Ellington

The nearness of you

The nearness of you
Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong

It's not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me, oh no
It's just the nearness of you

It isn't your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation, oh no
It's just the nearness of you

When you're in my arms
And I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams come true
I need no soft lights to enchant me
If you'll only grant me the right
To hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night
The nearness of you

Just squeeze me

Just squeeze me (but please don't tease me)
(Duke Ellington)
Interpretada por: Ella Fitzgerald

I want you to know I ain't for no teasing
I want you to know I go for your squeezing
I want you to know it really is pleasing

Treat me sweet and gentle
When you hold me tight
Just squeeze me
But please don't tease me

I get sentimental
When you hold me tight
Just squeeze me
But please don't tease me

Missing you since you went away
Thinking about you through the day
Hoping and longing for you

I'm in the mood to let you know
I love you so
Please say, you love me too

When I get that feeling
I'm in ecstasy
So squeeze me
But please don't tease me

Missing you since you went away
Thinking about you through the day
Hoping and longing for you

I'm in the mood to let you know
I love you so
Please say, you love me too

When I get this feeling
I'm in ecstasy
So squeeze me
But please don't tease me

Hear me talkin' honey
Squeeze me
But please don't tease me

C'mon honey and squeeze me
But please don't tease me



El fragmento en rojo es porque creo que no dice eso, pero no he conseguido oírlo bien. ¿Alguien sabe qué dice exactamente? El resto de la letra creo que está bien (he tenido que corregirla casi toda, la que circula por internet no coincide con lo que Ella Fitzgerald canta en esta versión).

Dream a little dream of me

Dream a Little Dream of Me
Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong

Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you"
Birds singin’ in the sycamore trees
Dream a little dream of me

Say nighty-night and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you’ll miss me
While I’m alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me

Stars fading but I linger on dear
Still craving your kiss
Now I’m longin’ to linger till dawn dear
Just saying this

Give me a little kiss

Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me

Stars fading but I linger on dear
Still craving your kiss
Yeah I’m longin’ to linger till dawn dear
Just saying this

Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Keep dreaming, gotta keep dreaming
Leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
You gotta make me a promise
Promise to me
You'll dream, dream a little dream of me.
