Lena Horne: Let Me Love You

Lena Mary Calhoun Horne (June 30, 1917 -- May 9, 2010) was an American singer, actress, civil rights activist and dancer. Horne joined the chorus of the Cotton Club at the age of sixteen and became a nightclub performer before moving to Hollywood, where she had small parts in numerous movies, and more substantial parts in the films Cabin in the Sky and Stormy Weather. Due to the Red Scare and her left-leaning political views, Horne found herself blacklisted and unable to get work in Hollywood. Returning to her roots as a nightclub performer, Horne took part in the March on Washington in August 1963, and continued to work as a performer, both in nightclubs and on television, while releasing well-received record albums. She announced her retirement in March 1980, but the next year starred in a one-woman show, Lena Horne: The Lady and Her Music, which ran for more than three hundred performances on Broadway and earned her numerous awards and accolades. She continued recording and performing sporadically into the 1990s, disappearing from the public eye in 2000... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lena_Horne
Lyrics

Let me love you
Let me say that I do
If you lend me your ear
I'll make it clear the way that I do

Let me whisper it
Let me sigh it
Let me sing it, my dear
Or I will cry it

Let me love you
Let me show that I do
Let me do a million impossible things
So you'll know that I do

I'll buy you the dawn
If you let me love you today
And if that's not enough
I'll buy you the first of May

Let me love you
Let me show that I do
If you lend me your ear
I'll make it clear the way that I do

Let me whisper it
Let me sigh it
Let me sing it, my dear
Or I will cry it

Let me love you
Let me show that I do
Let me do a million impossible things
So you'll know that I do

I'll buy you the dawn
If you let me love you today
And tomorrow I'll send you
Merrily on your way
