Only You

[A song for the improvising pianist; E-flat is a good key]

1. Hey man, I been silent
Too many things to do
Like looking through my sunglasses
And seeing only you

2. Washed my dirty clothes
Took a turn at the bar
Found them old binoculars
I was lookin far too far

CHOR
Only you, only you
Touch me where I am
Only you, only you
Ain't working for the man

3. Listened to professors
What they gotta teach
I left and gave all thirty
A piece of silver each

4. They used to make eyeglasses
Now they look like elves
Fallen on their asses
Making spectacles of themselves

CHOR
Only you, only, etc.

5. Each one a bully queen
Got where they got
By treading on the shoulders
Of every blind man's lot

6. So that's why I been silent
Too many things to do
Wish I had my time again
Then I'd speak to you

CHOR
Only you, only you, etc.
