Richard Rodgers
It Never Entered My Mind [In the Wee Small Hours]
[Verse 1]
Once I laughed when I heard you say
That I'd be playing solitaire
Uneasy, in my easy chair
It never entered my mind
[Verse 2]
Once you told me I was mistaken
That I'd awaken with the sun
And order orange juice for one
It never entered my mind
[Bridge]
You had what I lack myself
Now I even have to scratch my back myself
[Verse 3]
Once you warned me that if you scorned me
I'd say a lonely prayer again
And wish that you were there again
To get into my hair again
It never entered my mind
