ARE YOU DISENCHANTED?
(Ray Rasch / Dotty Wayne)

as recorded by Nat "King" Cole
with Nelson Riddle & his Orchestra
1960


[spoken]
Didn't get much sleep last night,
and it wasn't easy getting up early,
but it was worth it, 'cause sure enough she was waiting.
We talked of many things and discovered we had much in common;
She loved books, good paintings and jazz.
But there was one hitch, she loved somebody else, and that's how it goes!

[sung]
Are you disenchanted, disenchanted with life?
Can you find the rainbow you are always dreaming of?
Why doesn't love appear, or do you suppose
Love is right here under your nose?

Are you disenchanted, is your heart out of touch?
Are you, chance is maybe, chasing rainbows too much?
Open your eyes and you'll find the way,
And love will enchant you someday!

Open your eyes and you'll find the way,
And love will enchant you someday!
