Dinah Washington - Make Me A Present Of You Lyrics
I don't want a mountain of diamonds
And a valley of gold wouldn't do
But if you want to make me happy
Just make me a present of you
Or an ocean of pearls to swim through
But if you wanna make me happy
Just make me a present of you
What good is a girl with a million?
What good if the world calls you Queen?
If you don't have someone to love you
Then you really don't have anything
So I'll take your arms for my palace
I know that I'll make you happy, yes
If you make me a present of you
What good is a gal with a million?
What good if the world calls you Queen?
If you don't have a man to love you
Then you really don't have a doggone thing
So I'll take my arms for your palace
And the sky for my room with a view
I know we'll both be very happy
If you'll box yourself up
Tie it with a pretty ribbon
And make me, Lord, make me a present of you

Dinah Washington Make Me A Present Of You Comments
I heard this on a compilation Christmas album. It never occurred to me that it's not even a Christmas song. Somebody saw the word "Present" and said, "Christmas". Having said all that, it sure sounded good on that Christmas album. (I think it came right after "Jingle Bells" by Booker T which you also need to check out.) What an arrangement! Great sax solo. And Dinah was spot on with her singing. Great production too.
Classic ! From a great album she recorded in 1956 called “ Dinah !”
my favorite song by her, truly a great and beautiful voice, so sweet and serene .
Make me a present of you!!
Beautiful memories of my mother singing along with the great Dinah Washington. How I miss those times
an absolute knockout performance by "the Queen" backed by a swinging big band!
