I'm Stepping Out With a Memory Tonight - Jimmy Dorsey

I'm stepping out with a memory tonight To paint the town the way we used to do I'll dine at the old cafe where we had so much fun And order cocktails for two instead of the usual one Then, after dark In a Hansom through the park While reminiscing I'll be kissin' you A lot of folks may think I'm crazy Well maybe they're right But I'm stepping out with a memory tonight

When I think of all the bitter times I've had O God it doesn't make me sad Oh no it doesn't bother me Strength and honor is all I see O give thanks unto the Almighty God He showed me what I had He said stand firm and keep the faith O Your reward shall be great So now I see the day When I'm stepping out of Babylon In New Jerusalem in Mount Zion Now I'm stepping out of Babylon In New Jerusalem in Mount Zion Stepping out of Babylon one by one Stepping in Mount Zion Stepping out of Babylon one by one Stepping in Mount Zion Stepping, stepping, stepping out of Babylon Stepping, stepping, stepping out of Babylon I've got no alternative in a Babylon But I know yes, I know there's a Mount Zion But oh some day His children will find the way So get up, get up And don't let the devil lead you astray Stepping out of Babylon, in New Jerusalem In Mount Zion Stepping out of Babylon, in New Jerusalem In Mount Zion Stepping out of Babylon one by one Stepping in Mount Zion Stepping out of Babylon one by one Stepping in Mount Zion Stepping, stepping, stepping out of Babylon Stepping, stepping, stepping out of Babylon Stepping, stepping, stepping out of Babylon O give thanks unto the Almighty God He showed me what I had He said stand firm and keep the faith O your reward shall be great So now I see the day When I'm stepping out of Babylon In New Jerusalem in Mount Zion I'm stepping out of Babylon In New Jerusalem in Mount Zion (Stepping out of Babylon one by one) Oh, what a glorious day I see Oh, what a beautiful day I see When I'm stepping in the gates of the new Jerusalem, oh...
