Tell Me So (1947) - Dinah Washington

Like lights flashed on subway cars

She shines on something sad in dark

Scream through grey and filthy space

Hurdleing towards some secret place

My high school sweetheart had pretty blue eyes

She’s the reason to wake up in someone else’s life

I swear to God sometimes I can hear her say

If this is what you want just let me know

Just let me know

But if this is love, Love

Someone tell me so

And if this is love, Love

I won’t let it go

We travel light just for effect

To love struck girls and shattered things

All the while we smile and think of comfort that the darkness brings

These linking roads won’t carry us home

The sky lays a blanket of virgin white snow

Is anyone listening or am I alone?

And this is the place she was starving to fit in

And I’m a mistake she wanted to live with

But if this is love, Love

Someone tell me so

And if this is love, Love

I won’t let it go

You don’t gotta keep me but tonight please keep me warm

You don’t gotta keep me but tonight please keep me warm

But if this is love, Love

Someone tell me so

And if this is love, Love

I won’t let it go

I won’t, I won’t let it go

Oh If this is love Love Love

Someone tell me so If it’s not love

Love, Oh Please let me go
