Lester Young Quotes on Love
Yearning and Hope
I cover the waterfront, I’m watching the sea, wondering if the one I love will be coming back to me.
Here am I, patiently waiting, hoping and longing, oh! How I yearn!
Where are you? Are you forgetting? Do you remember if you will return?
For the one I love, Must come back to me.
Confessions and Uncertainty
I’m confessin’ that I love you, tell me, do you love me too?
I’m confessin’ that I need you, honest I do, needing you every moment.
In your eyes I read such strange things, but your lips deny they’re true.
Will your answer really change things, making me blue?
Reminiscing About Love
And now the purple dusk of twilight time steals across the meadows of my heart.
High up in the sky the little stars climb, always reminding me that we’re apart.
You wander down the lane and far away, leaving me a song that will not die.
Love is now the stardust of yesterday, the music of the years gone by.
Lingering Memories
And still those little things remain that bring me happiness or pain.
A cigarette that bears a lipstick’s traces, an airline ticket to romantic places.
And still my heart has wings, these foolish things remind me of you.
A tinkling piano in the next apartment, those stumbling words that told you what my heart meant.
The Sweetness of Affection
Amapola, My pretty little poppy, You’re like that lovely flower, so sweet and heavenly.
Since I found you, my heart is wrapped around you, and loving you it seems to beat a rhapsody.
Amapola, the pretty little poppy, must copy its endearing charm from you.
Amapola, Amapola, how I long to hear you say, “I love you.”
Lester Young Quotes on Life
Blues and Longing
Listen to my tale of woe, It’s terribly sad but true.
All dressed up with no place to go, each evening I’m awfully blue.
I tell you I’m just a lonesome babe in the wood, so lady be good to me.
Sometimes I wonder how I spend the lonely nights, dreaming of a song.
Reflections on Time
But that was long ago, and now my consolation is in the stardust of a song.
The memory of love’s refrain.
The winds of March that make my heart a dancer, a telephone that rings but who’s to answer?

We’ll always save the day, and if you think we can’t, We’ll always find a way.
We will protect your kind, We will protect your earth.
I will fight for the place where im Free To live together and exist as me.
I will fight for the world where I was made, The earth is everything ive ever known.
The world needs me where loyal, The odds are against us it will not be easy but not be alone.
