Left Over

Left Over - Cecile McLorin Salvant

Written by：Cecile Mclorin Salvant

I wonder if he knows

How much I care for him

And though I laugh and shake my head

His hands on mine are all

I know

Of love

Of love

Of love

I wonder if he

Even knows my name

My name between those lips

Or on that toungue

Would make me lose what ground I'm on

What ground I am on

To see him smile

The way he smiles

When she's near

To get what's left over

His surplus of love

And I know it's strange

Sometimes I wish to hold her near

To press her cheek

With gratitude

Saying thank you

For his smile you brought

For I am incapable

I wonder is he knows

How much I care for him

And though I laugh and shake my head

His hands on mine

Are all I know

Of love

Of love

Of love
