A number of years ago I spent a year in New York one week. I don't remember the hotel I was staying in, but I had found a really good jazz station. I had just fixed myself a drink when this song came on. I stood there, drink in hand, looking out on the city as a soft rain was falling. Of course it would have been better if a semi-nude woman had been beckoning to come back to bed. But it was real life not a movie. The mood was just right with the drink and Chet Baker on the radio. I've never forgot that moment. And everytime I hear this song, I'm back in that hotel room. Sometimes life just gives you that perfect moment you can keep in mind forever. Thanks for posting this awesome song.
I saw your beautiful face when I heard this song playing in my head. Perhaps, in some foreign place we've never been. Our hearts beating in rhythm, souls intertwined, lost in the moment. Strangers speaking languages we never heard before. Candle light flickering casting a soft shadow on your face. How could I forget your smile and the way your eyes looked deep into my soul. You made me feel so alive, so young. I felt loved for the first time, I felt like a person. Something I've never known before. The taste of your lips, the smell of Spanish Lavender in your hair as I ran my fingers through them. We kissed and dance through the night. Looking at the light on my wooden floor, casting lines from the window blinds. I wonder if I'll ever see your beautiful face once more?
My best friend passed away yesterday morning and Chet Baker was 1 of his personal faves. He was only 25 and had the best taste in music. Rip man. I love you so much.
