Carmen McRae (1920-1994) was one of the most important jazz singers and composers of his time, across 60 albums recorded and a career that took her to Europe, South America and Japan. Contemporary Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan, was known by the nickname of "Singer of Singers" and regarded as the virtual successor to Billie Holiday, a good friend.

Carmen McRae - the definitive website
My life was empty when you went away
Even the blue skies above had turned gray
But now that you've come back
My dream of life is here to stay
Those little quarrels that tore us apart
Oh gee I can see
They were wrong from the start
But now that you've come back
My dream of life is here to stay
I can't seem to see just what you see in me
I guess love is really blind
This world seem so grand now that you understand
It's you I adore It's you I live for
Life is sublime now that you're here with me
Please keep it mind dear and don't stray from me
For now that you've come back
My dream of life is here to stay

I can't seem to see just what you see in me
I guess love is really blind
This world seem so grand now that you understand
It's you I adore It's you I live for
Life is sublime now that you're here with me
Please keep it mind dear and don't stray from me
For now that you've come back
My dream of life is here to stay
