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 »

You've been cryin'
Your face is a mess
Come in baby
You can dry the tears on my dress
She's hurt you again
I can tell
Oh, I know that look so well

Don't be shy
You've been here before
Pull your shoes off, lie down
And I will lock the door

And no-one has to know
You've come here again
Darling it will be
Like it's always been before
Come on over here

Breakfast in bed
And a kiss or three
You don't have to say you love me
Breakfast in bed
Nothing need be said
Ain't no need

What's your hurry?
Please don't eat and run
You can let her wait, my darling
It's been so long
Since I've had you here
You will come again
Darling it will be
Like it's always been before
Hey child

Breakfast in bed
And a kiss or three
You don't have to say you love me
Breakfast in bed
Nothing need be said

Breakfast in bed
And a kiss or three
You don't have to say you love me
Breakfast in bed
Nothing need be said, yeah
You don't have to
