Have Mercy

by Ella Fitzgerald

on Complete Masters 1935 - 1955 (2011), Portrait (2003)

Have mercy
Let's have no controversy
Moments like this are meant for kissing
Lend your lips to hear
Have mercy dear

Have pity
What if I can't be witty?
Silence is golden as a vgue
My lips grow old with fear
When you are near

You want a child to walk
Before it begins to grow
How can my voice be talking?
Love is a child after all

Have mercy
Let's have no conversation
Your heart has heard my every word
And when my lips are near

Have mercy dear
You want a child to walk
Before it begins to grow
How can my voice be talking?
Love is a child after all

Have mercy
Let's have no conversation
Your heart has heard my every word
And when my lips are near
Have mercy dear

To lose you would be tragedy
Your love means everything to me
Chase away my fears
Have mercy my dear
