You Don't Know Me
 

You give your hand to me
Then you say hello
I can hardly speak
My heart is beating so
And anyone can tell
You think you know me well
But you don't know me

No, you don't know the one
Who dreams of you at night
And longs to kiss your lips
And longs to hold you tight
Oh I'm just a friend
That's all I've ever been
'Cause you don't know me

I never knew
The art of making love
Though my heart aches
With love for you
Afraid and shy
I've let my chance to go by
The chance that you might
Love me, too

You give your hand to me
And then you say good-bye
I watch you walk away
Beside the lucky guy
You'll never never know
The one who loves you so
Well, you don't know me

You give your hand to me, baby
Then you say good-bye
I watch you walk away
Beside the lucky guy
No, no, you'll never ever know
The one who loves you so
Well, you don't know me


"You Don't Know Me"
Ray Charles

Ray Charles' "You Don't Know Me" is one of my very favorite songs. Tonight I finally got the album "Genius Loves Company", an album of Ray Charles singing duets. On the album Ray sings the song with Diana Krall. I've never heard this song done better. Well worth the price of the album.

Rob, is that album as in licorice pizza?

No, no. I meant CD. I still think of it as an album.

:iagree: with you,Rob,one of my favorites,... :thumbup: :thumbup:

An 'album' is a unified collection of songs. purchased as a set. A 'record album' is made of vinyl.

(Never heard the phrase 'licorice pizza'. Very cool. )

Emil,

If you get the chance listen to "Genius Loves Company". Its really quite good.

...along with,"Save the last dance for me"...kind of macho,by todays standards,isnt'it...??? :D :D

Oh. Okay. To me an album is the black disk. We had a store in North Hollywood called Licorice Pizza. I didn't invent it.

That's exactly right. When I buy a CD containing a collection of songs I still think of it as an album. That's why I used the term.

In the case of "Genius Loves Company" as in the case of Tony Bennet's "Duets" the CD specifically contains songs done as duets. Again, that type of CD or record has always been an album to me.
