After the lights go down low, baby, you know
There'll be no reason for teasin' me so.
And when the dancin' is through and folks will be few
I'll be here sittin' with no one but you
And I'll be needin you so after the lights go down low.

I want to hold you, squeeze you as tight as I can,
I'd like to kiss you, please you and make you understand
And when you thrill me, you fill me with love so divine.
Together we can have a good time.

And we can cuddle up near wihout any fear
Cause I've got some sweet talk that you want to hear
And I'll be needin' you so after the lights go down low.

Al Hibbler

Albert George "Al" Hibbler (August 16, 1915 – April 24, 2001) was an American baritone vocalist, who sang with Duke Ellington's orchestra before having several pop hits as a solo artist. Some of Hibbler's singing is classified as rhythm and blues, but he is best classified as a bridge between R&B and traditional pop music. According to one authority, "Hibbler cannot be regarded as a jazz singer but as an exceptionally good interpreter of twentieth-century popular songs who happened to work with some of the best jazz musicians of the time." more »
