Drift Away

Understand, kid
 It's been just grand, kid
 The cocktails, the cuff links, the fun
 Remember me when you're singing "Tea for One"
 If you're gone, who would I even talk to?
 Yourself. The occasional cat
 That's not funny
 After I'm gone
 When the ocean's haze
 Blankets the grounds in grey
 Drift away on the tide
 Drift away
 When you're alone
 And the twilight's glow
 Shimmers across the bay
 Drift away on a wave
 Drift away
 Our tete-a-tetes
 Midnight duets
 Our breakfast tea and toast
 Funny how things that mean the least
 Are what we miss the most
 Deep in the night
 When the whispering breeze
 Sings this song I play
 Shed a tear and be glad
 For the fun that we had
 Drift away on a dream
 Drift away
 You're my soulmate, that's what you are
 "Soulmate." Is that the nom de jour?
 I have no idea what you mean
 For the party this afternoon
 Which would you prefer?
 Should I wear the white satin jacket you bought for me at Bergdorf's?
 Or the linen one you picked up in Rome?
 Now, Gould - Gould!
