Carmen McRae

Carmen Mercedes McRae (April 8, 1920 – November 10, 1994) was an American jazz singer, composer, pianist, and actress. Considered one of the most influential jazz vocalists of the 20th century, it was her behind-the-beat phrasing and her ironic interpretations of song lyrics that made her memorable. McRae drew inspiration from Billie Holiday, but established her own distinctive voice. She went on to record over 60 albums, enjoying a rich musical career, performing and recording in the United States, Europe, and Japan. more »

Found a seed and planted it in sunshine
Planted it with love to make it grow
Watered it and tended it and still it doesn't bloom
Won't you come and show me how?

Found a bird who'd fallen from his brothers
Fallen from a nest no longer there
Cared for him and shared for him and still he's flown away
Oh oh, won't you come and show me where?

Where the time slips by, and by and by
We live to love each other
Where the time goes on from song to song
We sing for one another
Where the song goes on from time to time
From sister on to brother
The time will come to sing a song
Called there will come a time
When the people and the music rhyme

Found a child who'd wander from her playmates
Wandered with a sadness in her sigh
Walked with her and talked with her and still she doesn't smile
Oh, no no no, won't you come and show my why?

Found a feeling floating through a daydream
Floating as if waiting for a friend
Followed it and reached for it and still it's there alone
Ooh-ooh, won't you come and show me when?

Where the time slips by, and by and by
We live to love each other
Where the time goes on from song to song
We sing for one another
Where the song goes on from time to time
From sister on to brother
The time will come to sing a song
Called there will come a time
When the people and the music rhyme

I said, Where the time slips by, and by and by
We live to love each other
Where the time goes on from a song to song
We sing for one another
Where the song goes on from time to time
From sister on to brother
The time will come to sing a song
Called there will come a time
When the people and the music rhyme
When the people and the music rhyme
