And when I told them
How beautiful you are
They didn't believe me
They didn't believe me
Your lips, your eyes
Your curly hair
Are in a class beyond compare
You're the loveliest girl that one could ever see
And when I tell them
And I certainly am going to tell them
That I'm the man whose wife someday you'll be
They'll never believe me
They'll never believe me
That from this great big world you've chosen me!

I left it
on when I
left the house
for the pleasure
of coming back
ten hours later
to the greatness
of Teddy Wilson
"After You've Gone"
on the piano
in the corner
of the bedroom
as I enter
in the dark
