Wynton Marsalis - Much Later lyrics

When you held your hand to my heart Dear you did something grand to my heart And we played the scene to perfection Though we didn't have the time to rehearse Since you took control of my life You have become the whole of my life When you are away it's awful And when you are with me it's worse Lover, when I'm near you And I hear you speak my name Softly in my ear and breathe a flame Lover, when we're dancing Keep on glancing in my eyes Till love's only trancing music dies All of my future is in you You're every plan I design Promise you'll always continue To be mine Lover, please be tender When you're tender fears depart Lover, I surrender to my heart Well, I say that the devil is in you And to resist you I try But if you didn't continue I would die Lover, please be tender When you're tender fears depart Lover, I surrender to my heart To my heart, lover
