To someone who's away

De Harold Arlen com letra de Johnny Mercer, melô que eu sou louca por, lançada em 1942, ou seja, cinco anos antes de nascer a pessoa pra quem - juro! - ela foi escrita, aqui performada com muita competência por uma das minhas paixões cinematográficas, beloved Kevin Spacey, no filme-bio de Bob Darin, Beyond the Sea, em brasileiro Uma Vida Sem Limites, escrito, dirigido e interpretado com toda categoria pelo próprio Kevin Spacey. Delicious! He really can sing, he has such a good voice! Some multitalented guy.
Ouve aí, bicho ruim. É a mais pura verdade, infelizmente. Mas a melô é linda. Eu ia gostar que me dedicassem ela.



That old black magic has me in its spell
that old black magic that you weave so well
Those icy fingers up and down my spine
That same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine
The same old tingle that I feel inside
and then that elevator starts its ride
And down and down I go, round and round I go
like a leaf that's thrown in the tide

I should stay away but what can I do?
I hear your name and I'm aflame
Aflame with such a burning desire
that only your kiss can put out the fire
You're the lover I have waited for
you're the mate that fate had me created for
And every time your lips meet mine
darling down and down I go, round and round I go
In a spin I'm loving that spin that I'm in
under that old black magic called love
