September–still warm from the end of summer, yet moving towards the frost. I am thinking of all the wonderful music that is my soundtrack now and I would like to share my lyrics for Charlie Parker’s “Ornithology”.
Ornithology
music ©1946 Charlie Parker
lyrics ©2012 Laurie Early
I bet you thought you’d never see me cryin’
you prob’ly thought my heart was just like a stone
I tell ‘ya, now that’s no lie
but you turned it into sand with your goodbye
yes, when you said “we’re through” I started to cry
the tears flowed down–now you know why
When I THINK of you baby I always cry,
must be that sand in my eye
(I) tried hard to build a wall around me
but when we kissed it crumbled down to the ground
You held me, and it fell
Baby, you know you had me under your spell
I gave my heart to you, couldn’t you tell?
I didn’t want to hear “farewell”

Listen, baby, on my word, fly back to me, I will be your bird.

It’s totally, totally, totally true!
It’s only, only, only you!
