I Am In Love

Nat King Cole

I am dejected.

I am depressed.

Yet resurrected and sailing the crest.

Why this elation, mixed with deflation?

What explanation?

I am in love.



Such conflicting questions rise

Around in my brain

Should I order cynanide

Or order champagne?



Oh, what is this sudden jolt?

I feel like a frightened colt,

just hit by a thunderbolt.

I am in love.



I knew the odds were against me before,

I had no flair for flaming desire,

But since the gods gave me you to adore,

I may lose but I refuse to fight the fire,



So come and enlighten my days and never depart.

You only can brighten the blaze that burns in my heart,

For I am wildly in love with you,

and so in need of a stampede of love.

You only can brighten the blaze that burns in my heart,

For I am wildly in love with you,

And so in need of a stampede of love,

And so in need of a stampede of love.
