about

A ragtime/jazz piano ode to giddy love. Vocals by Brazilian folk-jazz singer Mar Brisa.

lyrics

Forever darlin’ I’ll fill your glass
on warm summer nights
I’ll pour the whiskey for you on the porch
after the good days or the bad fights
for you darlin’ the world

I’ll drag the sun through the bayou sky
forever shining on you
I’ll draw the stars into dreamy shapes
I’ll paint your portrait in blue
for you darlin’ the world

The only gold I dig
is the beating of your heart
The only thrill I seek
is swooning in your arms
The only place I wanna be
is your honey and your bees
For you darlin’ the world

a bucketful of raindrops in the butterfly garden
flowers growing tall in the delta dirt
We’ll have jasmine in the air
whenever we make love
for you darlin’ the world

I’ll walk the dog fifty miles in the rain
I’ll run every errand bale all the hay
I’ll walk the high road mountains to the bay
I’ll cook your favorite dish serve it on a t.v. tray
for you darlin’ the world

The only gold I dig
is the beating of your heart
The only thrill I seek
is swooning in your arms
The only place I wanna be
is your honey and your bees
For you darlin’ the world
