TAKE FIVE Paul Desmomd/Dave Brubeck/Iola Brubeck Carmen McRea w The Dave Brubeck Quartet rec 15/12/61 rel 65
Won't you stop and take a little time out with me, Just take five. Stop your busy day and take the time out to see I'm alive!
Though I'm goin' out of my way Just so I can pass by each day, Not a single word do we say, It's a pantomime and not a play.
Still I know our eyes often meet, I feel tingles down to my feet, When you smile that's much too discreet, sends me on my way.
Wouldn't it be better not to be so polite? You could offer a light! Start a little conversation now it's alright, Just take five.
