CECILE MCLORIN SALVANT
"Moody's Mood For Love"
(Jimmy McHugh)

There I go, there I go, there I go, there I go
Pretty baby, you are the soul who snaps my control
Such a funny thing but every time you're near me
I never can behave
You give me a smile and then I'm wrapped up in your magic
Music all around me, crazy music

Music that keeps calling me so very close to you
Turns me your slave
Come on, baby, we'll do anything you want to
Any little thing you want to
Baby, just let me get close to you
Am I insane or do I really see heaven in your eyes?
Bright as the stars that shine up above you
In the clear blue skies
How I worry 'bout you, just can't live my life without you
Baby, come here, don't have no fear
Oh, is there a wonder why
I'm really feeling in the mood for love?

[Bridge:]
So tell me why I start to think about this weather, my dear
This little dream might fade away
There I go talking out of my head again, oh baby

Won't you put our two hearts together?
That will make me strong and brave
Oh, to be the one, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
If there's a cloud up above us, go on and let it rain
Our love together can control a hurricane
Oh baby, won't you let me love you?
Give me relief from this awful misery

[Bridge:]
What is all this talk of loving you, my sweet?
I am not afraid, not anymore, not like before
Can't you understand me?
So baby, please pull yourself together, do it soon
My soul's on fire, I cannot take this
I'll do what you make me, my darling, my sweet

You make me feel so grand, can I take you by the hand?
Hold up one second, we'll stop in the new promised land
Maybe we can find a place to keep our lovin' state of mind
I'm unhappy being without it
Never knowing what love's about
Come on, boys, you can play now if you want to
I'm through
