Miles Davis - Now's The Time lyrics

rate me

--------------

(Music: Charlie Parker; Lyrics: Eddie Jefferson)

Verse I

-------

Come reminisce with me and think about the Bird.

Remember everything he did and all the things you heard.

Now, don't it just amaze ya, get ya down inside...

To think of how he had to live and then the way he died.

Life was so unkind, 'cause now would have been his time....now was his time.

Verse II

-------

I never thought he'd be so awfully close to me.

Until I heard his message and it helped to set me free.

It made me want to linger, want to hang around.

For a better understanding of his different kind of sound.

Back in '42, Bird came to New York and he blew, my but he blew...
