[Lyric] I Left My Heart in Corona (Annie Jump Cannon)

The glistening specks gazed down at our antics
And I envisioned myself
Giving in to the impulse to hold you
A somber spot blended into an abundance
Of flashing lights, your light drowned out the ebony

I grasped the idea of you admiring me
Nearly as much as you admired the path
That held your hopes and dreams

Is it dense of me
To think you, so lovely
Could see a blink in a somber spot like me?

I took you in
I observed your every incompetent move
Your sweet innocence

And it was so thoughtlеssly
That you killed me
You kill me
I graspеd the idea of you admiring me
Nearly as much as you admired the path that held your hopes and dreams
Gleaming, I hope you’re thinking of me
Am I supposed to turn a blind eye
When you have got your eyes on me?

I felt the air getting cold, you offered to share a seat
I felt your heat, I felt your embers melting me
And you’re melting me
You’re killing me

I felt your embers melting me
But you omit my attention and my energy
Although your words are murmured, they’re endearing
I thought that maybe if I could charm you, you’d notice me
But you omit my attention and my energy
