WE'RE TOGETHER
Elliot / Allen

as rec by Blossom Dearie (vocal & piano) 
w Ray Brown (b) Mundell Lowe (g) & Ed Thigpen (d)  
September 1958


We're together,
People can notice we appear together,
We'll always be here together,
Please hold me closer all the time!

Right together,
Here in the shadow we'll be tight together,
Under the moonlight together,
Please hold me closer all the time!

Without you,
Life's a ride on a lonesome train;
There's somethin' about you
That keeps pullin' me back again,
Closer to you!

We're strong together,
Love, can't you tell we belong together?
Say that we're not wrong together,
Please hold me closer all the time!

Without you,
Life's the flavour of flat champagne;
There's somethin' about you
That keeps pullin' me back again,
Closer to you!

Play together,
We'll be forever and a day together!
Kiss me and we'll stay together,
Please hold me closer all the time!
Closer and closer,
Closer and closer,
Closer and closer...
