Carmen McRae

Carmen Mercedes McRae (April 8, 1920 – November 10, 1994) was an American jazz singer, composer, pianist, and actress. Considered one of the most influential jazz vocalists of the 20th century, it was her behind-the-beat phrasing and her ironic interpretations of song lyrics that made her memorable. McRae drew inspiration from Billie Holiday, but established her own distinctive voice. She went on to record over 60 albums, enjoying a rich musical career, performing and recording in the United States, Europe, and Japan. more »

Day after day
I must face a world of strangers
Where I don't belong
I'm not that strong
It's nice to know that
There's someone I can turn to
Who will always care
You're always there
When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest dream won't come true
I can take all the madness
This world has to give
But I won't last a day without you
So many times
When the city seems to be
Without a friendly face
A lonely place
It's nice to know
That you'll be there if I need you
And you'll always smile
It's all worth while
When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness
This world has to give
But I won't last a day without you
Love, touch me
And I end up singing
Troubles seem to walk and disappear
Mmm, you touch me
With the love you're bringing
I can really loose
When you're near
When you're near
My love if all my friends
Have forgotten half their promises
They're not unkind
Just hard to find
And one look at you
And I know that I could learn to live
Without the rest, I've found the best
When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams
Won't come true
I can take all the madness
This world has to give
But I won't last a day without you
No, I won't last a day without you
I can't last a day without you
