Well gold in the eyes of a rich man Is pure joy and I guess that's okay To me, joy is a warm and a muted horn It's you, in a silent way What if nobody suffered from heartaches? If we never played music again No Prez, no Bird, no nothing at all No you and no sketches of Spain Now all that I choose to remember Is all you've decided to share As surely as night is descending On God's empty chair And just when we thought it was over When there's tears in the eyes of the fool We were ready to say Man let's call it a day In you came with the birth of the cool Now all that I choose to remember Is all you've decided to share As surely as night is descending On God's empty chair Oh how can I try to explain it Just how long I've been humming that tune Won't you turn and look over your shoulder again It's just me and I'm kinda blue All that I choose to remember Is all you've decided to share As surely as night is descending On God's empty chair How surely the night has descended On God's empty chair
