Lena Horne — I Dont Think Ill End It All Today

When I see the world and its wonders, what is there to say? I don't think, oh no, I don't think I'll end it all today Fish in sea and sun in the heaven, sailboat in the bay I don't think, oh no, I don't think I'll end it all today So many sweet things still on my list So many sweet lips still to be kissed So many sweet dreams still to unfold So many sweet lies still to be told When I see the world and its wonders What is there to say? There's no time for the reaper to call So I don't think I'll end it all today Away with the river Away with the razor Away with the pearly gates Away with barbiturates Away with the Seconal The fall from the building tall No, I don't think I'll end it all today When I see your smile with its sunshine, what is there to say? I don't think, oh no, I don't think I'll end it all today Tell the coroner and the mourners please to stay away I don't think, oh no, I don't think I'll hang myself today So many hilltops still to be climbed So many good words still to be rhymed So many sweet songs still to be sung So many slim hips still to be swung When I see your smile with its sunshine, what is there to say? Let me quote from a ditty we wrote Oh, I don't think I'll cut my throat today Away with the bump-off Away with the rub-out Away with monoxide Away with the one-way ride Away with beyond recall St. Peter can tell St. Paul That I don't think I'll end it all today So many small hands still to be squeezed So many bless-you's still to be sneezed So many smart deals still to be clinched So many soft spots still to be pinched Tell the crocodiles in the river please to swim away I don't think, oh no, I don't think Don't think I'll drown myself Don't think I'll cut my throat Don't think I'll commit hara-kiri Don't think I'll jump from the ferry Oh, I don't think I'll end it all today
