Norah Jones Come Away With Me Lyrics:

| |

What am I to you


What am I to you
Tell me darling true
To me you are the sea
Fast as you can be
And deep the shade of blue
When you're feeling low
To whom else do you go
See I cry if you hurt
I'd give you my last shirt
Because I love you so
If my sky should fall
Would you even call
Opened up my heart
I never want to part
I'm giving you the ball

When I look in your eyes
I can feel the butterflies
I love you when you're blue
Tell me darlin' true
What am I to you
Yeah well if my sky should fall
Would you even call
Opened up my heart
Never wanna part
I'm giving you the ball
When I look in your eyes
I can feel the butterflies
Could you find a love in me
Could you carve me in a tree
Don't fill my heart with lies
I will you love when you're blue
Tell me darlin' true
What am I to you
What am I to you
What am I to you
Lyrics: What am I to you, Norah Jones [end]
Turn me on

Like a flower waiting to bloom
Like a lightbulb in a dark room
I'm just sitting here waiting for you
To come home and turn me on
Like the desert waiting for the rain
Like a school kid waiting for the spring
I'm just sitting here waiting for you
To come on home and turn me on
My poor heart, it's been so dark since you been gone
After all, you're the one who turns me off
You're the only one who can turn me back on
My hi-fi's waiting for a new tune
The glass is waiting for some fresh ice cubes
I'm just sitting here waiting for you
To come on home and turn me on
Turn me on

The Nearness of you

It's not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me, oh no
It's just the nearness of you
It isn't your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation, oh no
It's just the nearness of you
When you're in my arms and I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams come true
I need no soft lights to enchant me
If you'll only grant me the right
To hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night the nearness of you
Lyrics: The Nearness of you, Norah Jones [end]
Sunrise
Sunrise, sunrise
Looks like mornin'
in your eyes
But the clocks held
9:15 for hours
Sunrise, sunrise
Couldn't tempt us if it tried
'Cause the
afternoon's already
come and gone
And I said hoo...
To you
Surprise, surprise
Couldn't find it in your eyes
But I'm sure it's
written all over
my face
Surprise, surprise
Never something I could hide
When I see we made
it through another
day
And I said hoo...
To you
Now good night
Throw its cover down
On me again
Ooh and if I'm right
It's the only way
To bring me back
Hoo...
To you
Hoo...
Lyrics: Sunrise, Norah Jones [end]
Shoot the Moon

The summer days are gone too soon
You shoot the moon
And miss completely
And now you're left to face the gloom
The empty room that once smelled sweetly
Of all the flowers you plucked if only
You knew the reason
Why you had to each be lonely
Was it just the season?
Now the fall is here again
You can't begin to give in
It's all over
When the snows come rolling through
You're rolling too with some new lover
Will you think of times you've told me
That you knew the reason
Why we had to each be lonely
It was just the season
Lyrics: Shoot the Moon, Norah Jones [end]
Seven Years

Spinning, laughing, dancing to
her favorite song
A little girl with nothing wrong
Is all alone
Eyes wide open
Always hoping for the sun
And she'll sing her song to anyone
that comes along

Fragile as a leaf in autumn
Just fallin' to the ground
Without a sound
Crooked little smile on her face
Tells a tale of grace
That's all her own
Spinning, laughing, dancing
to her favorite song
A little girl with nothing wrong
And she's all alone
Lyrics: Seven Years, Norah Jones [end]
One Flight Down

One flight down
There's a song on low
And your mind just
picked up on the sound
Now you know you're wrong
Because it drifts like smoke
And it's been there
playing all along
Now you know
Now you know
The reeds and brass
have been weaving
Leading into a single note
In this place
Where your arms unfold
Here at last you see
your ancient face
Now you know
Now you know
The cadence rolls in broken
Plays it over and then goes
One flight down
There's a song on low
And it's been there
playing all along
Now you know
Now you know
Lyrics: One Flight Down, Norah Jones [end]
Nightingale

Nightingale
Sing us a song
Of a love that once belonged
Nightingale
Tell me your tale
Was your journey far too long?
Does it seem like I'm
looking for an answer
To a question I can't ask
I don't know which way the feather falls
Or if i should blow it to the left
All the voices that are
spinnin' around me
Trying to tell me what to say
Can I fly right behind you
And you can take me away
Lyrics: Nightingale, Norah Jones [end]
Moon Song

Want to find out where the moon goes
When it leaves the western sky
And night dissolves again to morning
Azure turns to gold
Azure turns to gold
Gonna sleep with one eye open
Gonna keep the shades half drawn
Nearly silent dressed in shadows
Lines and colors fall
Lines and colors fall

Gonna watch her through the window
Just as I watched you before
Smile knows but just won't tell me
I just watch her go
I just watch her go
Now I know just where the moon goes
When it leaves the western sky
And night dissolves again to morning
The moon is in your eyes
The moon is in your eyes
The moon is in your eyes
The moon is in your eyes
Lyrics: Moon Song, Norah Jones [end]
Lonestar

Lonestar where are you out tonight? This feeling
I'm trying to fight It's dark and I think that I
would give anything For yout o shine down on me

How far you are I just don't know The distance I'm
willing to go I pick up a stone that I cast to the
sky Hoping for some kind of sign
Lyrics: Lonestar, Norah Jones [end]
I've got to see you Again

Line on your face don't bother me
Down in my chair when you dance over me
I can't help myself
I've got to see you again
Late in the night when I'm all alone
And I look at the clock and I
know you're not home
I can't help myself
I've got to see you again
I could almost go there
Just to watch you be seen
I could almost go there
Just to live in a dream
But no I won't go for any of those reasons
To not touch your skin is not why I sing
I can't help myself
I've got to see you again
I could almost go there....
No I won't go to share you with them
But oh even though I know where you've been
I can't help myself
I've got to see you again
Lyrics: I've got to see you Again, Norah Jones [end]
I'll be Your Baby Tonight
close your eyes, close the door
you don't have to worry anymore
'cause i'll be your baby tonight
shut the lights and shut the shade
you don't have to be afraid
'cause i'll be your baby tonight

well that mockingbird is gonna sail away
we're gonna forget it
that big fat moon is gonna
shine like a spoon
we're gonna let it
you won't regret it
kick your shoes off
and don't you fear
bring that bottle over here
'cause i'll be your baby tonight
Lyrics: I'll be Your Baby Tonight, Norah Jones [end]
Feelin' the Same way

The sun just slipped its note below my door
And I can't hide beneath my sheets
I've read the words before so now I know
The time has come again for me
And I'm feelin' the same way all over again
Feelin' the same way all over again
Singin' the same lines all over again
No matter how much I pretend
Another day that I can't find my head
My feet don't look like they're my own
I'll try and find the floor below to stand
And I hope I reach it once again
And I'm feelin' the same way...
Lyrics: Feelin' the Same way, Norah Jones [end]
Don't Know why

I waited till I saw the sun,
I don't know why I didn't come.
I left you by the house of fun,
I don't know why I didn't come,
I don't know why I didn't come.
When I saw the break of day
I wished that I could fly a way,
'stead of kneeling in the sand,
catching teardrops in my hand.
My heart is drenched in wine.
But you'll be on my mind forever.
Out across the endless sea,
I will die in ecstasy
But i'll be a bag of bones
Driving down the road alone,
My heart is drenched in wine.
But you'll be on my mine forever.
Something has to make you run
I don't know why I didn't come
I feel as empty as a drum
I don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come.
Come Away with me

Come away with me in the night
Come away with me
And I will write you a song
Come away with me on a bus
Come away where they can't tempt us
With their lies
I want to walk with you
On a cloudy day
In fields where the yellow
grass grows knee-high
So won't you try to come
Come away with me and we'll kiss
On a mountaintop
Come away with me
And I'll never stop loving you
And I want to wake up with the rain
Falling on a tin roof
While I'm safe there in your arms
So all I ask is for you
To come away with me in the night
Come away with me
Lyrics: Come Away with me, Norah Jones [end]
Cold Cold Heart

I've tried so hard my dear to show
That you're my every dream
Yet you're afraid each thing I do
Is just some evil scheme
A memory from your lonesome past
Keeps us so far apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
And melt your cold cold heart
Another love before my time
Made your heart sad an' blue
And so my heart is paying now
For things I didn't do
In anger unkind words are said
That make the teardrops start
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
And melt your cold cold heart
There was a time when I believed
That you belonged to me
But now I know your heart is shackled
To a memory
The more I learn to care for you
The more we drift apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
And melt your cold cold heart
Lyrics: Cold Cold Heart, Norah Jones [end]
