Chansons reprises : Body and soul

Chanson populaire écrite en 1930 par Edward Heyman, Robert Sour, Frank Eyton et Johnny Green, qui sera utilisée dans la revue Three's a crowd et dans le film Sang et or (body and soul). Elle devient un standard de jazz avec des centaines de versins enregistrées par des dizaones d'artistes. Coleman Hawkins enregistre une version emblématique le 11 octobre 1939 qui est considérée comme l'un de ses meilleurs solos.

My heart is sad and lonely!
For you I sigh, for you dear only.
Why haven't you seen it?
I'm all for you, Body and Soul.

I spend my days in longing,
And wondering why it's me you're wronging.
I tell you, I mean it,
I'm all for you, Body and Soul!

I can't believe it,
Its hard to conceive it
That you'd turn away romance.
Are you pretending?
It looks like the ending!--
Unless, I can have
One more chance to prove dear..

My life a wreck you're making!
You know I'm yours
For just the taking
I'd gladly surrender
Myself to you, Body and Soul!
