I promise you.
It's time to wake up now, and live.
Cole Porter, my favorite composer, penned this:
"We will never be younger . . .
So why let love die of hunger
We will never be younger than we are, today."
Cole Porter is also my favorite songwriter -- and his lyrics are just a joy...
Like the beat beat beat of the tom-tom
When the jungle shadows fall
Like the tick tick tock of the stately clock
As it stands against the wall
Like the drip drip drip of the raindrops
When the summer shower is through
So a voice within me keeps repeating you, you, you
Night and day, you are the one
Only you beneath the moon or under the sun
Whether near to me, or far
It's no matter darling where you are
I think of you
Day and night, night and day, why is it so
That this longing for you follows wherever I go
In the roaring traffic's boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you
Day and night, night and day
Under the hide of me
There's an oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me
And this torment won't be through
Until you let me spend my life making love to you
Day and night, night and day

U2 did a cover of this and Bono talked about how interesting it was to do a dark twisted take on Cole Porter lyrics because they really lend themselves to that.
