Jimmy is married and he lives down south
His wife lives somewhere colder
He sees another woman in a badlands town
And she cries upon his shoulder

Jimmy thinks that he's a helpless man
He thinks about love in a vacuum
And he won't remember that talk you had
When you were walking into the bedroom

He'll say I don't know why we met
The simple truth is always the best
C'est la vie - what's done is done
And there's somebody for everyone

Jimmy has debts and Jimmy has ties
That he can't get out from under
If you look far enough into his eyes
It'll rock you just like thunder

Jimmy broke locks and Jimmy broke bolts
Just to get himself out from under
When you feel like you're lying in a prison cell
It'll kind of make you wonder

He'll say it's destiny we met
The simple truth is always the best
Don't you see what's done is done
And there's somebody for everyone

I used to get drunk to get my spark
And it used to work just fine
It made me wretched but it gave me heart
I miss Jimmy like I miss my wine

Jimmy as if you didn't know by now
Let me tell you a thing or two
Everybody might have someone
But everyone falls in love with you...

He'll say you get just what you get
The simple truth is always the best
Don't you see what's done is done?
And there's somebody for everyone

IMO, Diana Krall is one of the finest female jazz/pop singers in my collection. She's also an exceptional pianist.

For my annual Valentine's Day CD, I've so far come up with the following (I've adopted Rose's idea of beginning and ending the CD with the same tune): any other suggestions along the lines of melodic jazz/folk tunes that would fit in?

Have I Told You Lately...Dolores Keane
Without the Fanfare...Mary Black
I'm Glad There is You...Nancy LaMott
Someone Like You...Van Morrison
Real Fine Love...Chris Smither
Night Right for Love...Maura O'Connell & Robert Earl Keen
Lover's Lullaby...Townes van Zandt
I Can't Sleep...Steve Goodman
Misty Roses...Tim Hardin
A Case of You...Diana Krall
When Did You Leave Heaven...Bob Dylan
How Sweet it Is...Jerry Garcia Band
Disappearing Heart...Anne Hills
45 Years...Stan Rogers
The Dutchman...Michael Smith
Have I Told You Lately...Van Morrison
