about

A crooner's sentimental reveries on love. Memories of love's beckoning mirage of soft, sweet intensity and the longings for those loving moments of desire gone by.

lyrics

I have longings
They try to humble me
Gorgeous ladies dressed for spring
Hot jazz, and symphonies

Roller coaster rides
White wine, just slightly dry
An appetite I can’t hide
Fast cars I love to drive

I have longings
Oh, what they put me through
But, the greatest of them all
Is for you

The way you touch me
Your kisses so sweet
Our soft caresses
Melt me each time we meet

If you are not near
I long for that ecstasy
That tingling of fever
Whenever you’re next to me

I have longings
Yet, what can I do?
When,
What I long for most of all
Is you
