Norah Jones - The Tennessee Waltz

Speaking of Norah Jones, she also made a nice performance of The Tennessee Waltz, which we've seen Patti Page sing earlier in this blog. This is from Norah's live concert in New Orleans in 2002.



Just another detour on our trip..

Cold, Cold Heart - Tony Bennett

Billboard Magazine's #1 Single Nov. 3 - Nov. 16

Again, I'm not sure this is an original recording.



Much later, Norah Jones made a very nice interpretation of this song and released it on her break-through album Come Away With Me. That version is probably more familiar to the youngest parts of our audience.



Lyrics:

I tried so hard, my dear to show
That you're my every dream
Yet, you're afraid each thing I do
Is just some evil scheme
A memory from your lonesome past
Keeps us so far apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
And melt your cold, cold heart

Another love before my time
Made your heart sad and blue
And so my heart is paying now
For things I didn't do
In anger unkind words are said
That make the teardrops start
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
And melt your cold, cold heart

[Instrumental Interlude]

There was a time when I believed
That you belonged to me
But now I know your heart is shackled to a memory
The more I learn to care for you
The more we drift apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
And melt your cold, cold heart
