I Wonder - Original Mono - Woody Herman

There’s a fire in my heart

And it’s burning all the time

And I wonder, and I wonder

How you ever sleep at night

I’ve been calling in the dark

I’ve been counting on your time

And I wonder, and I wonder

Why it hurts to be alive

Got a message on my phone

I wasn’t keeping count

I know you like to talk in code

I’ve got you figured out

Nobody said it was easy

Yeah, but you gotta believe me

Because I’m losing out

Yeah, I gotta tell ya

There’s a fire in my heart

And it’s burning all the time

And I wonder, and I wonder

How you ever sleep at night

I’ve been calling in the dark

I’ve been counting on your time

And I wonder, and I wonder

Why it hurts to be alive

What is the chance of making life?

Pick up the panic stations

And I can only sympathize

With your hesitations

You can dance the night away

You can force yourself to stay

When you’re easing on the brakes

And taking care of things

There’s a fire in my heart

And it’s burning all the time

And I wonder, and I wonder

How you ever sleep at night

I’ve been calling in the dark

I’ve been counting on your time

And I wonder, and I wonder

Why it hurts to be alive

No one sends letters anymore

That’s what we’ve got computers for

Cleaning the sh*t up from the floor

That’s what I live for

That’s what I live for

Let me down and leave me hopeless

Stay around and talk it over

Let me down and leave me hopeless

Stay around and talk it over

There’s a fire in my heart

And it’s burning all the time

And I wonder, and I wonder

How you ever sleep at night

I’ve been calling in the dark

I’ve been counting on your time

And I wonder, and I wonder

Why it hurts to be alive

There’s a fire in my heart

And it’s burning all the time

And I wonder, and I wonder

How you ever sleep at night

I’ve been calling in the dark

I’ve been counting on your time

And I wonder, and I wonder

Why it hurts to be alive

Let me down and leave me hopeless

Stay around and talk it over

Let me down and leave me hopeless

Stay around and talk it over
