My Baby And Me
J.J. Cale · Other Songs - J.J. Cale
Can you play something low
Can you play something lonely my baby might know
Can you give us one moment, one memory
Don't turn off the music
Don't set her down low
Will you play something haunting
With a far lonesome sound
One moment of pleasure is all that we need
For it might be the last time for my baby and me
