[00:00.00]Lingering (mid 1959) - Dinah Washington
[00:15.12]Although I know I'm doing wrong
[00:23.48]My love for you is still going strong
[00:29.85]I feel that heart break you will only bring
[00:35.66]So why do I let it keep on lingering
[00:45.64]To watch my love make his retreat
[00:53.61]Deep within my heart I weep
[00:59.08]My heart should be learning how to sing
[01:04.31]Instead of merely waiting and lingering
[01:13.88]It's by myself I'm walking
[01:18.32]It's by myself I'm talking
[01:22.22]My heart know it's too incomplete
[01:29.37]It's only in my dreams I find
[01:32.96]The kind of man I have in mind
[01:36.50]So each day I face a new defeat
[01:43.20]So by myself I'm dancing
[01:47.53]Still in my mind I'm chancing
[01:51.25]That this illusion will not end in tears
[01:57.80]Maybe morning leaves him waiting
[02:01.53]And perhaps relating that without me
[02:08.42]There are only empty years
