COME WITH ME (LET'S COOL ONE)
(Music : Thelonious Monk - Lyrics : Soesja Citroen)


If you're feeling low down
And you're longing for my love
Do come to me
I'll be glad you came

I will give you everything
From twilight until dawn
And you won't feel
So forlorn

I'll put my fate in your hands
No idle plans
Now here's your chance

If you're needing company
I hope you come to me
I love to do
Anything you want to
If that is what you / I want

SURE IT CAN BE DONE (MONK'S DREAM)
(Music : Thelonious Monk - Lyrics : Soesja Citroen)


I never could tell what I wished to be
but deep in my heart lived this fantasy
Tried never to reveal it
now it is done
I couldn't go on

At times when a way out is hard to find
and all kinds of problems may blur your mind,
then pull yourself together
better be wise,
start paying the price

Now look at me
what do you see
I'm feeling absolutely free
Don't ever try to hide
fight it wlth all your might
wishes come true eventually

So I started singing and making rhymes
my bread comes in quarters or mostly dimes
Life isn't always easy
but it's great fun
sure it can be done
if you only try

 

IN TWILIGHT (CREPUSCULE WITH NELLIE)
(Music : Thelonious Monk - Lyrics : Soesja Citroen)


I wonder what would happen if you
stayed until dark
lay down by my side
We'd watch the light
fade away softly
caressing our eyes,
glimering light

I wonder what would happen if this moment
lasted till dawn
would that make you stay
or would you go
just disappear like you dld once before
into the nlght

It's been a long time. How l've missed you
Days went slowly since you left through that door
Love's almost funny now that you are with me
This evening, in twilight I see you

And wonder what could happen if I'm
only asleep
and this ls a dream
could this still come true
like all the tales I was made to believe
Some distant day
could it come true
me being here with you
