Skylark

Skylark - Carmen McRae

Written by：Bronislaw Kaper/Paul Francis Webster

I'm not the type that I seem to be

Happy-go-lucky and gay

I'm not content but I dream to be

Happy and lucky some day

I'm free as the wandering breeze

I'm free to wander anyplace I please

And yet I can't escape from you

I'm free as the birds in the trees

I'm even free to sail the seven seas

And yet I can't escape from you

I could ride away and hide away

Where we were miles apart

But when I got there I'd find you there

Right in my heart

And so you see that I'm really not free

I'm so afraid you might escape from me

And yet I can't escape from you

And yet I can't escape from you
