You Brought A New Kind Of Love To Me - Original - Ethel Waters

Sweet one, fairer than the flowers,

Never will I meet one sweeter than you.

Would you turn away or could you

Really every care, If I’d ever dare

To say, «I Love you.»?

If the nightingales could sing like you,

They’d sing much sweeter than they do,

For you brought a new kind of love to me.

If the Sandman brought me dreams of you,

I’d want to sleep my whole life through,

For you brought a new kind of love to me.

I know that you’re the queen, and I’m the slave,

And yet you will understand

That underneath it all

You’re a maid, and I am only a man.

I would work and slave the whole day through

If I could hurry home to you;

For you brought a new kind of love to me.
