East of the Sun (And West of the Moon)

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 »

East of the sun and west of the moon
We'll build a dream house so lovely
Near to the sun in a day, near to the moon at night
We'll live in a lovely way dear
Living our love in memory
Just you and I, forever and a day
Love will not die, we'll keep it that way
Up among the stars we'll find
A harmony of life, too lovely tune
East of the sun and west of the moon, dear
East of the sun and west of the moon
