I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire - The Ink Spots

Midnight in the village Seeger lights the candles From bitter end to gaslight Baez leaves the stage Ochs takes notes When the black girl and guitar Burn together hot in rage You've got what it takes You say too much You will set the world, babe You will set the world on fire I can work the scene, babe I can see the magazines I can hear the nation I can hear the nation cry You will set the world, babe You will set the world on fire You will set it on fire Kennedy would kill For the lines that you've written Van Ronk says to Bobby "She's the next real thing" Crouched in the half light Screaming like a banshee You're in the boat, babe We're in the water You say too much Oh, you will set the world, babe You will set the world on fire I can work the scene, babe I can see the magazines I can hear the nation I can hear the nation cry You will set the world, babe You will set the world on fire You will set it on fire You will set the world, babe You will set the world on fire I can work the scene, babe I can see the magazines I can hear the nation I can hear the nation cry You will set the world, babe You will set the world on fire You will set it on fire You will set the world, babe You will set the world on fire I can work the scene, babe I can see the magazines I can hear the nation I can hear the nation cry You will set the world, babe You will set the world on fire You will set it on fire

In a quaint caravan There's a lady they call the Gypsy She can look in the future And drive away all your fears Everything will come right If you only believe the Gypsy She could tell at a glance That my heart was so full of tears She looked at my hand and told me My lover was always true And yet in my heart I knew, dear Somebody else was kissing you But I'll go there again 'Cause I want to believe the Gypsy That my lover is true And will come back to me someday You see, she looked at my hand and Told me that my baby would always be true And yet, in my heart I knew, dear That somebody else was kissing you But I'll go there again 'Cause I want to believe the Gypsy That my lover is true And will come back to me someday

Bless you, for being an angel Just when it seemed that heaven was not for me Bless you for building a new dream Just when my old dream crumbled so helplessly In that vine covered chapel on the hill Your face was a hymn that lingered still So bless you, my darling, my angel Heaven is mine and life is divine with you So bless you, my darling, my angel Heaven is mine and life is divine with you

My prayer is to linger with you At the end of the day In a dream that's divine My prayer is a rapture in blue With a world far away And your lips close to mine Tonight while our hearts are aglow Oh, tell me the words I am longing to know My prayer and the answer you give May they still be the same For as long as we live That you'll always be there At the end of my prayer Tonight while our hearts are aglow Oh, tell me the words I am longing to know My prayer and the answer you give May they still be the same For as long as we live That you'll always be there At the end of my prayer
