Carmen Jones - Dis Flower (Flower Song) Lyrics |
1943 Broadway Carmen Jones the Musical - Dis Flower (Flower Song) Lyrics
The song is written by Georges Bizet and Oscar Hammerstein II.
Dis flower dat you threw my way Has been my frien' by night an' day. I saw it fade an' lose its bloom, But still it kept a sweet perfume. In my cell, through ev'ry darkened hour, On my lonely eyes lay dis flower, An' so I'd sleep de whole night through An' dream of you, an' dream of you.
Den, I'd wake up, wid no one near me, An' talk fo' de jail walls to hear me~ "She ain' de bes', Dere all de same! Like all de res', She jus' a dame." Den I tol' myse'f I was ravin', Dere wuz jes' one t'ing I wuz cravin'~ It wuzn' food, It wuzn' dough, I guess you know Dat it wuz you. I only saw you once... Once wouldn' do! I don' know anythin' about you. I don' know much about a shinin' star. Jus' know de worl' is dark widout you~ Dat's all I know... I only wan' you as you are... Dat's how I love you.
