Tutti for Cootie Songtext
von Kurt Elling

Everyday bleeds away when I face it without you
Everything′s grey, and I run away from sunshine's rays without you
Every song′s minor and tragic
That's everyday that goes by without your magic

I'm drowning under the sound of the clocks ticking
It′s crushing all my dreams and all my little hopes of loving
It′s a beating of beats that repeats and repeats
And it keeps me from knowing some peace in the night would be quite alright with me now

It's too much, it′s too strong, it's too long breathing without seeing you
In ain′t nothing, smoking all my little cigarettes up
My momma done took me just to come on home
Oh, no
How to go on living knowing my light is where you are
And just then you walk through my door

When you're home the sky turns blue
Everything′s a happy hue
There's a rainbow in your eyes
And happiness is just a kiss away, a smile from you


I'm just a happy puppy
Don′t need no map just come just closer now
Let′s take a trip, up aboard that ship
There's islands of love awaiting lovely lovers who venture onto the sea

We, we could be famous for loving
Two sweethearts just doing their thing
Clark Kent and his Loise Lane
Roxane and for tethers ain′t
Tarzan and his Jane
They held on 'til they could swing it
Boris and the tall Natasha
Captain Smith and Pocahontas magnetically veined
And you send me now, apprehend me, baby
My world′s empty when I'm without you, so can′t you keep closer to me?
And love me, baby

Everything you bring makes me sing like Jacob bouncing off the walls
Up and down the halls
Say you'll stay, and make everything a lovely lovers bouquet

Just so it's clear to say, as long as you can stay I′ll be happy with you
You′ll be happy too
And so, make a break, for heavens sake, 'cause there′s faking love
It's a deed, everyday, to let love, make a way
So, just promise you can stay
