A Time for Love (Live) - Oscar Peterson & Stéphane Grappelli

I'm not gonna lay around And whine and moan for somebody that done me wrong Don't think for a minute That I'm gonna sit around and sing some old sad song I believe it's half-full not a half-empty glass Every day I wake up knowing it could be my last I ain't here for a long time I'm here for a good time So bring on the sunshine, to hell with the red wine Pour me some moonshine When I'm gone, put it in stone "He left nothing behind" I ain't here for a long time I'm here for a good time Folks are always dreaming about what they like to do But I like to do just what I like I'll take the chance, dance the dance It might be wrong but then again it might be right There's no way of knowing what tomorrow brings Life's too short to waste it, I say bring on anything I ain't here for a long time I'm here for a good time So bring on the sunshine, to hell with the red wine Pour me some moonshine When I'm gone, put it in stone "He left nothing behind" I ain't here for a long time I'm here for a good time I ain't here for a long time I'm here for a good time

It's a wonderful time for love It's a wonderful time for love Sun shines down from above It's a wonderful time for love And you think you have all you dreamed of But all the great blue skies just ain't enough When the sun goes down We sleep safe and sound A wonderful time for love Time for dealing a different game One where we don't have to place the blame How much can we bear? If pain is all we share A wonderful time for love Such a beautiful time to rise And walk away from all the endless lies And try to see the world through other eyes

Writers: colemanleigh Those fingers in my hair That sly come hither stare That strips my conscience bare It's witchcraft And i've got no defense for it The heat is too intense for it What good would common sense for it do 'Cause it's witchcraft wicked witchcraft And although i know it's strictly taboo When you arouse the need in my My heart says yes indeed in me Proceed with what your leading me to It's such an ancient pitch But one i wouldn't switch 'Cause there's no nicer witch than you
