Don't Ever Leave Me

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 »

Don't ever leave me, now that you're here
Here is where you belong
Everything seems so right, when you're near
When you're away, it's all wrong

I'm so dependent when I need comfort
I always run to you
Don't ever leave me, 'cause if you do
I'll have no one to run to

I'm so dependent when I need comfort
I always run to you
Don't ever leave me, 'cause if you do
I'll have no one to run to
