Dinah Washington - If I Were A Bell Lyrics






Ask me how do I feel
Ask me now that we're cozy and clinging
Well, sir, all I can say
Is if I were a bell I'd be ringing

From the moment we kissed tonight
That's the way I just got to behave
Boy, if I were a lamp I'd light
Or if I were a banner I'd wave

Ask me how do I feel
Little me with my quiet upbringing
Well, sir, all I can say
Is if I were a gate I'd be swinging

And if I were a watch I'd start
Popping my spring
Or if I were a bell
I'd go ding dong ding dong ding

Ask me how do I feel
From this chemistry lesson I'm learning
Well, sir, all I can say
Is if I were a bridge I'd be burning

Yes, I knew my moral would crack
From the wonderful way that you looked
Boy, if I were a duck I'd quack
Or if I were a goose I'd be cooked

Ask me how do I feel
Ask me now that we're fondly caressing
Pal, if I were a salad
I know I'd be splashing my dressing

Or if I were a season, I'd surely be spring
Or if I were a bell
Yes, if I were a bell, if I were a bell
I'd go ding dong ding dong ding

    What a lovely idea!

    L.... c....

    Si TE AME

    Or simplify ... it is your choice ...
    There’s an easy way, and a Haredi
    Way, and no known passageway
    In between... Unless, of course,
    ‘Tis what I believe, you’ve been,
    Cara Mia, like me, deprived...
    How should I put it? Of skillsets
    And attributes and laurels
    Now neither of us—modesty’s coral
    Decorative necklace being
    A common denominator,
    Quite the remonitative operative
    Universal virtue we share..
    If few (or even any?) of the Muggles,
    Truth to tell, are aware,
    Endowing us both
    With a troth, and oath,
    Enormous in responsibility,
    Like an orthodoxy, a reticence,
    Like our shared humility.
    Time will teach us every language,
    Reward us with beautiful voice,
    Under every life to come,
    Enow! We have to choice.

    If I were a bell —
    Can I get a wetness? to wit?!? —
    Eid be ringing. This B true.

    Bella Winfield-Green —
    “Izbell” —I once read—my Queen.
