Signing Off - Sarah Vaughan, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie

Signing off does it surprise you

I won’t need your lips anymore

Signing off can’t idolize you

My heart crossed your name off the door

Signing off now that I’ve told you

That this is just where I came in

Signing off why should I hold you

You’ve already said I can’t win

It’s strange how the rest of the world knows

The things you should see at a glance

And I want what all of the world knows

A person to person romance

Signing off I can’t pretend dear

My trip to the stars took a spill

We’re all through this is the ending

Because you only wanted a thrill

I’m signing off

I’ll always remember the pleasure

Of friendship and all that it’s worth

I know that it’s something to treasure

From here to the ends of the earth

Signing off happy I met you

So please make me happy again

And be sure I won’t forget you

The best of everything until then

I’m signing off
