Please Send Me Someone To Love Lyrics - April In Paris - Count Basie

When the evening, the evening sun goes down 

You're gonna find me somewhere hanging around 

The night life, people, it ain't no good life 

But it's my life, yeah 

All the people just like you and me 

Everybody's dreaming 

Dreaming about their old used to be 

The night life, hey, it ain't no good life, people 

Oh, but it's my life 

Yes, listen to the blues, people 

Listen to what they're saying 

Yes, listen to the blues, people 

Listen to the way they're playing 

Heaven, please, send to all mankind 

Understanding and peace of mind 

If it's not asking too much 

Please, send me someone to love, someone to love 

Show the world, show them how to get along 

Peace will enter when hate is gone 

If it's not asking too much 

Please, send me someone to love 

Please, send me someone to love 

Nights I lay awake and ponder world's troubles 

And my answer is always the same 

Unless man put an end to this damnable sin 

Hate will put the world in a flame, what a shame 

Just because I'm, because I'm in misery 

Oh, I don't beg, I don't beg for no sympathy 

But if it's not asking too much
