This One’s For Me

(Christopher Van Name)

In memory of the late, great Lance Hayward. I spent many, smoky late nights at The Village Corner listening to Lance play into the wee hours of the morning. Always smiling. Can’t imagine him not playing. What a joy!

Another night 
Another morning without you
Just me and this old stool
Two old fools 
Still playing
Still looking for our song 

In they come 
Out they go
You never know how long they’ll stay
You just keep playing on 
All night long
All night long

So cover the ice 
Once more
Turn down the lights
Lock the door
When there’s no one left to play for 
When they’ve all gone home 
When I’m all alone 
This one’s for me 

Soft and easy 
A little blue 
So when I close my eyes 
I’ll think of you 
Play it misty 
Play it slow 
That’ll do 

Something sassy
Something sweet
Ivory memories 
Of you and me
Swing it high 
Swing it low 
That’s how it goes 

In they come 
Out they go
You never know how long they’ll stay 
You just keep on playing 
All night long
All night long 

So cover the ice 
Just one more 
Turn off the lights 
Lock the door 
When there’s no one else to play for
When they’ve all gone home 
When I’m all alone 
This one’s for me 
This one’s for me 

Soft and sassy 
A little blue 
So when I close my eyes 
I’ll dream of you 
Play it misty 
Play it slow 
Swing it high
Swing it low 
That’s how it goes 
That’s how it always goes 
This one’s for me
