TABLE IN A CORNER, A
(Dana Suesse (m) Sam Coslo (l) 1939)

as recorded by
Jack Teagarden & his Orchestra
(vocal - Kitty Kallen)
1939


A table in a corner,
A window with a view,
An orchid by my plate,
A charming tete a tete for two!

Two hands beneath the table,
An accident they meet,
The music violin,
A melody that's indiscreet!

Away from all intrusion,
This rapture I can't conceal.
To share this sweet seclusion
Right opposite my ideal!

A table in a corner,
For heaven's own design,
That called me from a star,
A corner in your heart was mine!
