Dinner With Gershwin

Donna Summer · Gold [2005]

I wanna have dinner with Gershwin

I wanna watch Rembrandt sketch

I wanna talk theory with Curie

Impossible I guess



I wanna talk moods with Picasso

On a rendezvous

I wanna fly double with Earhart

I wanna get next to you, next to you



So close, just as close as I can get

The rain of your worry can't effect

What I feel is what I feel

One touch of your greatness is what I need

My circle of fantasy would be complete



I wanna sing hymns with Mahalia

When the day is through

I wanna tell you about it

I wanna get next to you, next to you



So close, just as close as I can get

The rain of your worry can't effect

What I feel is what I feel

One touch of your greatness is what I need

My circle of fantasy would be complete



So close, just as close as I can get

The rain of your worry can't effect

What I feel is what I feel

One touch of your greatness is what I need

My circle of fantasy would be complete



I wanna have dinner with Gershwin

I wanna watch Rembrandt sketch

I wanna talk theory with Curie

I wanna get next to you, next to you



Dinner with Gershwin

I wanna get next to you, next to you

Dinner with Gershwin

Dinner with Gershwin

Next to you, next to you

I wanna get next to you, next to you



Dinner with Gershwin

I wanna get

Dinner with Gershwin
