Chet Baker - In a sentimental mood (D. Ellington)
( Introductory poem by G. Manzi)
But now it has happened,
No use in talking
The silence between me and you
Has never had meaning.
It was, love it, that was all
That was asked.
But now it has happened,
No words for the foretime,
The desperation has made me the same,
Has made me another.
Who looks at the shape of the fish
Grow giant on the side of his bowl,
Who walks on the terrace
Observing foliage from above,
Who hears the snapping of plastic
That wraps like cellophane
Bare branches of climbers?
You don't know, and I
Who descend the stairs neither,
I am the same, I am another.

Chet Baker - She Was Too Good To Me (1974)
She was too good to me
how can I get along now.
So close she stood to me
everything seems so wrong now.
She would have brought me the sun
making me smile
that was her fun.
When I was mean to her
she never said go away now.
I was a king to her
who's gonna make me gay now?
It's only natural
I'm so blue.
She was too good to be true.
