Dinah Washington

Lingering
Although I know I'm doing wrongMy love for you is still going strongI feel that heartbreak you will only bringSo why do I let it keep on lingering?To watch my love make his retreatDeep within my heart I weepMy heart should be learning how to singInstead of merely waiting and lingeringIt's by myself I'm walkingIt's by myself I'm talkingMy heart knows it's too incompleteIt's only in my dreams I findThe kind of man I have in mindSo each day I face a new defeatSo by myself I'm dancingStill in my mind I'm chancingThat this illusion will not end in tearsMaybe morning leaves him waitingAnd perhaps relating that without meThere are only empty years From Letras Mania
