~Luminous~

I watched a movie tonight that reminded me of my love of jazz music. These are 2 great songs. The moon and stars are luminous just as love is. I am in a sentimental mood tonight.





Artist: Duke Ellington
Song: In a Sentimental Mood
(Feat. John Coltrane) In A Sentimental Mood

I can see the stars come thru my room
While your loving attitude is like a flame that lights the gloom
On the wings of ev'ry kiss
Drift a melody so strange and sweet

In this sentimental bliss you make my Paradise complete
Rose pearls seem to fall
It's all like a dream to call you mine
My heart's lighter thing since you made me this night a thing divine

In A Sentimental Mood
I'm within a world so heavenly
For I never dreamt that you'd be loving sentimental me

I Wish You Love
Written in 1946 and performed by many jazz greats, including Ella FitzgeraldMost recently recorded by Gloria Lynn 1964, hit # 28 on Top 40 chartsAlso a great song for Father/Daughter dance at a wedding

Frank Sinatra - I Wish You Love Lyrics
Goodbye, no use leading with our chins,
this is where our story ends,
Never lovers ever friends.

Goodbye, let our hearts call it a day,
but before you walk away,
I sincerely want to say.

I wish you bluebirds in the spring,
to give your heart a song to sing,
And then a kiss, but more than this, I wish you love.

And in July a lemonade to cool you in some leafy glade,
I wish you health, and more than wealth,
I wish you love.

My breaking heart and I agree that you and I could never be,
So with my best, my very best, I set you free.

I wish you shelter from the storm,
a cozy fire to keep you warm,
But, most of all, when snowflakes fall,
I wish you love.
(musical interlude)

I wish you shelter from the storm, a cozy fire to keep you warm,
Most of all, when snowflakes fall, hot time, I wish you love.
All kinds of love, a whole gang of love.
