ONE SIDE OF ME

Sunshine

as rec by Ella Fitzgerald w Chick Webb & his Orch  
Feb 17th 1939 New York


One side of me whispers, "Stay at home,
Your book is company, let other people roam!".
But one side of me will not agree,
It doesn't like to see me alone!

One side of me whispers, "Now's the time,
Why surely you can see that it's way after nine!
In bed you should be!", but one side of me
Wants to see what makes the bright lights shine!

I wonder why we're so far apart,
In the middle am I, between my head and my heart;
And though every night I keep the two behavin',
My head is runnin' on standard time, my heart on moonlight savin'!

One side of me whispers, "Dreams come true!",
The other side remind me that there's work to do!
But both sides of me on thing agree,
We've both decided I'm in love with you!

I wonder why they're so far apart,
In the middle am I, between my head and my heart;
And though every night I keep the two behavin',
My head is runnin' on standard time, my heart on moonlight savin'!

One side of me whispers, "Dreams come true!",
The other side remind me that there's work to do!
But both sides of me on thing agree,
We've both decided I'm in love with you!
